  • What’s “New” in Amblyopia Research

    PATRICIA CISARIK, OD

    COPE ID: 61374-FV
    Time: 1 hour
    Cost: $40

    Recent results from clinical trials and studies using animal models have challenged the traditional view that amblyopia is untreatable in adulthood due to insufficient cortical plasticity.  This course will review several of the biological and behavioral manipulations that have demonstrated restoration of neural plasticity in the human brain that may eventually be incorporated into safe and feasible amblyopia treatment.

    LINDSAY ELKINS, OD

    COPE ID: 61382-SD

  • Neovascular Glaucoma Update

    CHRISTOPHER BORGMAN, OD

    COPE ID: 61371-GL
    Time: 1 hour
    Cost: $40

    Optometrists are often the doctors detecting the first signs of patients with neovascular glaucoma (NVG).  This course aims to update the practicing optometrist’s knowledge of NVG by reviewing the underlying ischemic processes that can result in NVG development, how to recognize the earliest signs of NVG, and how to select the best management options available for NVG.  A review of the latest thinking on surgical management options is also discussed.  Lastly, an update on the latest research as well as the potential future treatment options of NVG are discussed, specifically, topical anti-VEGF agents and the role of pigment epithelial derived factor in NVG.

  • Nutritional Issues in the Elderly

    PATRICIA CISARIK, OD

    Time: 1 hour

    Nutritional effects on ocular disease have been documented for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, neurodegenerative disease, including multiple sclerosis, and more.  Given the aging population in the United States, awareness of nutritional issues in the elderly and the potential impact malnutrition may have on vision are increasingly important in the provision of vision care to the elderly population.  This course reviews the factors affecting nutritional status in elderly people, enumerates the potential effects of malnutrition on ocular and brain health, and summarizes strategies for identifying and managing issues related to malnutrition in patients that present to the optometric practice.

  • Linking Vision to Overall Development in Today’s World

    GLEN STEELE, OD

    COPE ID: 61483-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: 61487-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.
