Activity Outline

Join us for an evening of evidence-based presentation for optometrists, led by an experienced ophthalmologist, focusing on the latest updates in managing Primary Angle Closure Disease (PACD) and the impact and use of High-Order Aberrations (HOAs) in refractive and cataract surgeries.

Key Topics Include:

1.           Primary Angle Closure Disease (PACD)

Understand the underlying pathophysiology of PACD and the latest diagnostic tools like anterior segment OCT as well as key tips on angle evaluation including gonioscopy-made-easy.

Learn to recognise risk factors such as genetic predispositions and anatomical variations.

Review the latest treatment strategies, from acute management to chronic solutions - pharmacology, laser iridotomy and lens extraction.

2.           High-Order Aberrations (HOAs) in Refractive & Cataract Surgery

Gain insight into how HOAs, such as spherical aberrations, are employed to achieve an increased range of vision in both laser and lens refractive techniques.

Increase your understanding of how HOA affect visual outcomes in patients undergoing laser vision correction or cataract surgery.

Learn about inducing or reducing HOA in presbyopic laser vision correction and premium intraocular lens implantation, and how to know who may be suited to which

3.           Rapid fire case studies to test your clinical knowledge

This presentation will feature real-life case discussions, an in-depth analysis of the latest evidence, and interactive Q&A sessions, ensuring practical takeaways for everyday optometric practice.

Don’t miss this chance to update your knowledge and enhance your clinical skills in managing these complex conditions – there are limited places available so register early J. 

Learning Objectives

• Increase your confidence in assessment and management of Primary Angle Closure Disease (PACD) and gain an overview of the types and treatment strategies currently available.
• Gain understanding of risk factors of Primary Angle Closure Disease (PACD), such as genetic predispositions and anatomical variations, as well as potential common and serious complications.
• Gain an understanding of the origins of high order aberrations and review the clinical optics relevant to presbyopia correcting laser techniques and intraocular lens implants.
• Understand how high order aberrations such as spherical aberrations affect visual quality and surgical outcomes.
• Strengthen the referral process for timely and effective co-management of PACD and post-surgical issues related to high order aberrations.
• Participate in interactive case reviews to reinforce clinical decision-making and management skills.
