Activity Outline
Proudly presented by The Optical Company
Join us to learn all about SightScore and genetic testing in glaucoma. SightScore assists clinicians to identify individuals at highest genetic risk of glaucoma, so they can be appropriately prioritised and managed, to increase the likelihood that any glaucoma or glaucoma progression can be detected earlier. It may also help clinicians identify those at lower genetic risk of glaucoma.
This 1.5 hour, interactive webinar will have you discussing cases with colleagues and give you the opportunity to ask representatives from Seonix all about SightScore. You'll learn how to interpret the polygenic risk score (PRS) results and how to apply this clinically in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension and Pseudoexfoliative syndrome patients.
