Activity Outline

Join ophthalmologists Dr. Chris Qureshi and Dr. Tanya Trinh for a dynamic clinical workshop designed to elevate your expertise in both posterior segment therapy and anterior segment diagnostics. This interactive CPD activity combines practical laser skills with advanced case analysis to support comprehensive patient management and surgical co-management.

Dr. Chris Qureshi leads a specialized Retinal Laser Workshop, providing a practical overview of laser applications in retinal disease. As the scope of optometric co-management expands, understanding the mechanics, indications, and safety profiles of retinal laser procedures is vital. This session offers a hands-on perspective, allowing participants to familiarize themselves with laser delivery systems and treatment protocols for conditions such as retinal tears and vascular pathology.

Transitioning to the anterior eye, Dr. Tanya Trinh presents an in-depth session on Cornea Ectasia Management and Refractive Surgery Suitability. Navigating the complexities of corneal diagnostics is critical for safe patient outcomes. Dr. Trinh will deconstruct real-world "Interesting Case Studies" to highlight key parameters in corneal topography. You will learn to identify subtle signs of ectasia that contraindicate refractive surgery and explore the precise decision-making criteria used to determine suitability for different refractive modalities.

This event is tailored for optometrists seeking to refine their diagnostic acumen and understanding of surgical interventions. By integrating retinal laser practicality with high-level corneal analysis, this workshop ensures you are better equipped to advise patients on surgical suitability and manage complex ocular pathologies.

Learning Objectives

• At the completion of this CPD Activity, participants should be able to discuss the clinical indications, safety protocols, and delivery techniques for retinal laser procedures in the management of posterior segment pathology.
• At the completion of this CPD Activity, participants should be able to evaluate corneal topographic and tomographic indices to detect early signs of corneal ectasia and formulate appropriate management plans for complex corneal cases. At the completion of this CPD Activity, participants should be able to analyse refractive surgery suitability parameters to accurately identify contraindications and determine the most appropriate surgical modality for patients.
