ECOV/SA Webinar – Eyelid Surgery and Cosmetic Procedures

The ECOV/SA Committee are delighted to offer this topic for the next early career optometrists CPD Seminar to be held on 1 June 2020.

With the emergence of new cosmetic treatments, Dr Jonathan Kam will provide members with useful and practical information that will inform their practice and provide insights into these various cosmetic treatments and how to recognise when there are adverse outcomes.

Dr Charles Su will be providing an overview of all you need to know about ‘droopy eyelids’. The talk will include the important clinical skills of how to recognise the cause in each patient to avoid missing dangerous underlying conditions. Dr Su will also provide information on understanding the factors in considering surgical repair of ‘droopy eyelids’.
