OV/SA Regional Series Evening Webinar – Can I treat this patient?
Free to OV/SA Members
About this session:
In this seminar guest speaker Richard Lenne will provide participants with an overview of the clinical use of therapeutics to treat patients with a wide variety of presentations. Richard will address some of the factors that influence a decision to treat, rather than refer, a patient, and he will provide some examples on the varied presentation of Herpetic eye disease and a grading scale for the assessment and management of ocular chemical trauma. Richard will also discuss the potential adverse outcomes of glaucoma treatment.
Learning Objectives:
The seminar learning objectives are to:
- identify factors that influence a decision to treat rather than refer a patient;
- increase understanding of how varied the presentation of Herpetic eye disease can be;
- recognise two relatively benign presentations that can require referral;
- appropriately assess and manage ocular chemical trauma, and
- increase awareness of potentially adverse outcomes to glaucoma treatment.
