Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Diagnostic Imagery - Acquiring New Insights from the Third Dimension

Interpretation of posterior OCT images is a useful skill for any optometrist who co-manages patients with an ophthalmologist. Retinal nerve fibre layer thickness assessment, macular oedema detection, retinal detachment risk evaluation and age related macular pigmentary progression are some of the indications for the technique. In this workshop, invaluable insights will be offered into the technique and practitioners can become acquainted with the procedure through a practical approach.

Gonioscopy and Other Glaucoma Assessment Techniques - Approaching the Topic from Every Angle

The profession and the community expect that optometrists can assess the health and structure of the anterior chamber in detail, and be able to judge risk of diseases such as glaucoma. Gonioscopy is core to this process and is a requirement for therapeutic practice. This half-day workshop is perfect for the optometrist who either needs to learn gonioscopy from scratch, or who wants to improve skills to the next level of competence and confidence. Other procedures such as pachymetry and OCT (Visante) will also be demonstrated. This is a hands-on teaching and instruction session, with volunteer subjects for participants to try different instruments, techniques and lenses. You are welcome to bring your own gonioscope.

Diagnostic Imagery for Glaucoma

Optical coherence tomography and clinical photography are essential clinical techniques for any optometrist who co-manages glaucoma patients with an ophthalmologist. Attendees will learn to assess parameters of the optic nerve head and the retinal nerve fibre layer in normal subjects, in patients who are at risk of developing glaucoma and in individuals who are under management for glaucoma.
