Learning Objectives
- 1. Review the Beckman classification of age-related macular degeneration.
- 2. Understand how the Beckman classification can provide information on risk of progression, and direct appropriate patient management.
- 3. Understand the limitations of the Beckman classification scheme and learn about emerging schemes (including the use of optical coherence tomography imaging) will be presented and applied to clinical scenarios.
- 4. Be able to identify common clinical presentations on optical coherence tomography, infrared images, and autofluorescence images (for example, early AMD, intermediate AMD, geographic atrophy and neovascular AMD)
- 5. Learn about new imaging biomarkers, such as iRORA, cRORA and the SIRE sign.
- 6. Understand the appropriate referral pathways when you see AMD-related imaging biomarkers in your practice
- 7. Understand the scientific principles behind gene augmentation and gene editing technologies.
- 8. Learn about the currently available ocular gene therapies, and emerging technologies.
- 9. Identify which patient groups are the most likely to benefit from gene therapy in the near future
