Activity Outline
Dr Varun Chandra will be presenting "Angles under Pressure: Angle Closure and Aqueous Misdirection in Practice" and Dr Lisa Farber will be presenting "Microcurrent Stimulation of the Retina in Dry AMD"
Learning Objectives
- Identify angle closure with history and examination including gonioscopy ± anterior segment OCT, and differentiate primary angle closure from secondary angle closure
- Apply evidence from pivotal trials such as EAGLE and ZAP to guide clinical decisions, specifically when to consider monitoring vs peripheral iridotomy vs lens extraction
- Distinguish aqueous misdirection from pupil block by recognising hallmark signs and typical postoperative contexts
- Commence appropriate first-line therapy for angle closure and aqueous misdirection, and identify red flags for same-day ophthalmology review
- Gain an understanding of the use of microcurrent stimulation of retinal cells in dry AMD
- Gain an understanding of the mechanism of action of microcurrent stimulation of retinal cells
- Guidelines for patient suitability for treatment with microcurrent stimulation of retinal cells in dry AMD
