A guide to help detect, diagnose and refer retinal pathology with confidence

As optometrists continue to invest in new diagnostic technology such as OCT and ultra-widefield retinal imaging, many of them embark on a natural steep learning curve as they get to grips with new imaging techniques. We understand that even skilled practitioners find new technology daunting and the aim of this webinar is for users to feel confident using these techniques and interpreting the results.  

This recorded webinar focuses around the key features of common ocular pathologies to help optometrists make an accurate diagnosis using ultra-widefield and OCT imaging and discusses the diagnosis and management of cases of common ocular disease including:

• Anterior imaging of the angle

• OCT as corneal thickness measurement

• Vitreomacular interface disease

• Macular assessment

• Disc abnormalities

• Glaucoma

It also examines how to communicate effectively when referring a patient so that the person triaging the referral is able to make the best decision in sending the patient to the most appropriate setting for their consultation.
