Review of Risk Factors in the Identification of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
  • Disease management
  • Vision
  • 1.00 Attendance - General Attendance
  • 1.00 COPE - Optometrists
$0.00
This activity will examine risk factors for glaucoma that will assist health care professionals (HCPs) in the early identification of this condition in general primary eye care practice. Individual risk factors will be discussed, and pertinent literature will be reviewed to provide insight into how certain factors in combination, such as Krukenberg spindles, homogeneous trabecular meshwork pigmentation and iris transillumination defects can indicate an increased risk and alert HCPs to the presence of this disorder. A new tool will be introduced to help recommend when specific glaucoma testing is indicated.
Diagnosis and Management of Ocular Symptoms Related to Concussion and Acquired Brain Injury
  • Disease management
  • Vision
  • 1.00 Attendance - General Attendance
  • 1.00 COPE - Optometrists
$0.00
This activity will focus on the evaluation and management of oculomotor symptoms associated with acquired brain injuries (ABI) due to concussion, stroke and other causes. It will discuss the battery of tests that can establish the presence of oculomotor dysfunction and will cover available treatment options, including glasses, prism glasses, therapeutic eye drops and vision therapy. The importance of a team management approach through collaboration and referrals will be stressed. After this activity, eye doctors should be comfortable evaluating patients with a history of concussion or ABI.
