  • Linking Vision to Overall Development in Today’s World

    GLEN STEELE, OD

    COPE ID: 75766-FV
    Time: 1 hour
    Cost: $40

    There are processes in the course of visual development that have remained constant.  These concepts are being re-validated every day.  It is especially important in this modern age that we are aware of these concepts and that the assessment and management we provide is appropriate for that child.  Children may go through the stages at a faster pace or a slower pace but the markers along the way are consistent – and vision is the leader.  Issues arise because foundations are not set in one stage before moving on to the next stage of development.  This course will outline the steps for assessing visual development and show the critical role of vision in this process.

  • Ordering and Interpreting Macular OCT

    JESSICA HAYNES, OD

    COPE ID: 76059-PD
    Time: 1 hour
    Cost: $40

    Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) testing has become a mainstay of diagnosis and management of retinal disease in a large number of optometric practices. OCT scanning has traditionally been divided into scans of the macula (often cube type scans) or of the optic nerve (retinal nerve fiber layer scans), but now we have the ability to customize scans and obtain images not just of the macula and optic nerve, but throughout the retina. When used properly, this technology can provide insight and visualization of structure that would otherwise be hidden from view. However, poor scanning techniques or interpretation may lead to improper treatment or unnecessary testing. This lecture aims to assist the optometric physician in obtaining the most diagnostically beneficial scans and fine tuning his/her OCT interpretation skills. The presentation will be packed with case examples to provide an experience that is clinically meaningful to the practitioner on a daily basis.
