OVC 2024: Plenary Session: CXO Presents...Glaucoma - Challenges and opportunities (Recorded Webcast)
Activity Outline
Optometrists have an integral part to play in eyecare delivery, including the diagnosis and management of eye conditions leading to the number of vision-related loss of healthy years of life due to illness or disability and possibly premature death (disability-adjusted life years; DALYs). Early detection and suitable management minimise DALYs. This session focusses on one of these sight-threatening eye conditions, glaucoma, and the recent special issue of Clinical & Experimental Optometry that featured articles covering innovative testing/diagnostic techniques, glaucoma care delivery, as well as those that deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of glaucomatous damage and various functional deficits.
Learning Objectives
- Outline topics of recent academic literature on glaucoma, including testing, diagnosis, care delivery and the mechanisms of glaucomatous damage and functional deficits
