Join us for a dynamic and engaging CPD experience designed to inform, inspire, and energise your clinical practice. This session will deliver practical, up-to-date insights across a range of relevant optometry topics, with a strong focus on real-world application and professional growth.

Through a series of interesting and thought-provoking presentations, participants will enhance their clinical knowledge, refine decision-making skills, and gain valuable take-home points that can be applied immediately in practice. The evening also provides a great opportunity to connect with colleagues, share experiences, and engage in meaningful discussion in a supportive learning environment.

Learning Objectives

  • More and more patients expect excellent refractive outcomes after cataract surgery. The new landscape of premium intraocular lenses offers greater ability to provide spectacle independence after surgery, but there are trade offs. Dr Cumming will discuss the current options for presbyopia correcting intraocular lenses, with pearls and pitfalls when it comes to patient selection, expectation management and pre operative optimisation
  • In recent years the approach to glaucoma care has shifted from "eye drops - laser - trab" to "laser - stent". Is there a role in the new treatment algorithm for eye drops and trabeculactomy?
  • Common indications for intravitreal injection include the treatment of retinal diseases associated with macular oedema, neovascularisation, or intraocular inflammation. The most frequent indications are neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular oedema, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion with macular oedema, and selected cases of uveitis or infectious endophthalmitis requiring intravitreal medication.

Max CPD hours awarded: 2.25
