Activity Outline
On Sunday 28 July local ophthalmologists; Dr Graeme Kelly, Dr John Glastonbury and Dr Ian Reddie will hold a day of interactive education for optometrists. The day will cover topics such as successful glaucoma management, oculoplastics, rare retinal conditions and an update on cataract surgery. The event will be attended by representatives from pharmaceutical companies that supply intravitreal injections for the management of retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration allowing optometrists a more in-depth exposure to the treatment that occurs following patient referral. There will be time for attendees to interact with their fellow colleagues as well as presenters to discuss new and emerging treatments and how they may apply to cases encountered in their everyday practice. The event will also be attended by representatives from suppliers of intraocular lenses and there will be time for attendees to have hands-on experience with the instrumentation utilised in cataract surgery.
