Critical to a clinician’s practice is the ability to diagnose and manage unique and interesting presentations of “typical” ocular conditions, or to be able to diagnose a previously un-encountered condition. The following interactive lecture will present patient cases with unique presentations of ocular conditions, including special testing. The course will focus on the clinician’s ability to analyze and interpret the unique case presentation and provide appropriate management and treatment options.
Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
Assess a patient who is suspicious for glaucoma and analyze the necessary testing and provide appropriate management/treatment.
Assess a patient who has suspicious lid lumps and be able to differentiate between a benign versus a malignant lesion.
Be familiar with the common laboratory tests that need to be considered for a patient who has an acute onset red eye with associated systemic manifestations.
Determine the various differential diagnoses for a choroidal nevus, provide the appropriate diagnostic testing and make the necessary treatment/management referrals.
Assess a patient who presents with an acute onset painful eye providing appropriate differentials and prescribing appropriate treatment/management recommendations.
Assess a patient who presents with complaints of sudden loss of vision, what tests should be done and possible differentials and treatment options.
