Activity Outline
The Visionare Vault: Expert Insights in Ophthalmology is a live, in-person morning CPD event focused on practical, collaborative eye care. Led by three specialist ophthalmologists, the session explores cataract planning in complex anterior segments, interactive vitreoretinal case studies, and contemporary updates in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Each presentation combines concise lectures with interactive polling, case discussion, and small-group engagement to reinforce key clinical concepts. Designed for optometrists, this event supports confident assessment, timely referral, and effective co-management through evidence-based insights and real-world clinical scenarios.
Learning Objectives
- Identify key anterior segment factors that influence cataract surgery planning and refractive outcomes.
- Recognise when ocular surface or corneal instability may compromise biometry accuracy and referral timing.
- Apply structured clinical considerations to optimise patients prior to cataract referral.
- Systematically interpret clinical findings and multimodal imaging in common vitreoretinal conditions.
- Recognise retinal features that require urgent referral versus those appropriate for routine monitoring.
- Apply case-based reasoning to support timely referral and shared management of vitreoretinal disease.
- Identify commonly used minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices and their mechanisms of action.
- Understand patient selection criteria and limitations for MIGS procedures.
- Recognise potential complications of MIGS and appropriate post-operative monitoring considerations
- Apply evidence-based principles to referral communication and co-management between optometrists and ophthalmologists.
- Enhance confidence in patient education regarding diagnosis, treatment pathways, and follow-up care.
