Activity Outline
Stay ahead in AMD and GA care—master multimodal imaging, identify high-risk biomarkers, and discover how AI is shaping the future of diagnosis and patient management.
This virtual webinar provides an in-depth educational update on the evolving landscape of diagnosing Geographic Atrophy (GA) and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The session will focus on recognizing high-risk biomarkers, understanding differential diagnoses, and leveraging advanced diagnostic equipment such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF), and Retinal Photography to improve patient care.
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of multimodal imaging techniques used to assess and monitor AMD and GA, including the advantages and limitations of each modality. The program will build confidence in interpreting diagnostic test results and identifying structural biomarkers that may predict disease progression. Additionally, the webinar will address practical strategies for classifying AMD patients, with emphasis on referral criteria for ophthalmology, and explore key considerations in differential diagnoses for GA.
The session will also highlight the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in enhancing diagnostic assistance and image analysis. Attendees will learn about practical applications of AI-driven tools, how these technologies can be evaluated for clinical use, and strategies for integrating them into existing clinical reasoning frameworks to support decision-making and optimize patient management.
The session will open with Professor Anthony Kwan, followed by Optometrists Inez Hsing and Professor James Armitage, who will share their real-world insights through case-based discussions, offering practical strategies and examples to help stay at the forefront of GA diagnosis and management
This educational update is designed for eye care professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of imaging modalities, improve diagnostic accuracy, and understand the future impact of AI in Geography Atrophy.
