Activity Outline
As ophthalmic professionals, we have an important role to play in raising awareness and educating the community. In doing so, patients can be empowered to take positive agency of their own eye health, which we know can help improve outcomes.
Summer itself brings numerous challenges to maintaining and caring for eye health. Sadly, few members of the public are well versed in understanding these challenges, let alone know how to effectively manage them — this is precisely where we, as professionals, can drive change and action.
Learning Objectives
- Be aware of the need to educate patients about the importance of sun safety to eye health,
- Understand the risks and impacts of significant sun exposure,
- Realise the importance of early and accurate diagnosis of suspicious lesions, and
- Be aware of the steps required to diagnose different types of ocular tumours
