Schedule of Upcoming Webinars
Myopia in Children Treated for Retinopathy of Prematurity
The prevalence of myopia in premature children with or without treatment for ROP is significantly higher than in full-term children. This lecture will explore the dynamics of myopia development in both treated and untreated cases of ROP. This lecture will elaborate on myopia development and evaluate the associated factors in preterm infants treated with anti-VEGF (Intravitreal Bevacizumab) or laser photocoagulation. The latest research findings, clinical insights, and potential strategies to mitigate myopia in the context of ROP will be discussed. (Level: Intermediate)
Low Vision Rehabilitation for Patients with Visual Field Loss
Low vision rehabilitation often employs magnification to compensate for reduced visual acuity and central vision loss. However, patients with peripheral visual field loss may have additional functional concerns that are not sufficiently addressed through magnification alone. In this webinar, we will use cases to explore common functional complaints in patients with visual field loss and how these complaints are addressed in low vision management. (Level: Intermediate)
Approach to the Patient With Unexplained Visual Loss
Patients will present with visual symptoms and seemingly “normal” eye exams. This webinar will describe an organized, succinct approach to these difficult patients. A variety of neuro-ophthalmic conditions will be discussed in addition to non-organic visual loss. (Level: Beginner and Intermediate)
Everything You Wanted to Know About Goniotomy, but Were Afraid to Ask
During this live webinar, we will discuss all aspects of goniotomy from case selection, to informed consent, to set-up, to post-op, and beyond. We will also examine various alternatives. Videos will be incorporated into this session with ample time for questions. (Level: All)
Malignant Orbital Tumors of Childhood
During this live webinar, we will discuss the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of malignant orbital tumors in childhood. Rhabdomyosarcoma, metastatic neuroblastoma, secondary retinoblastoma, and others will be discussed. Physicians will learn to recognize clinical signs, perform a focused evaluation, and become familiar with managing these cancers. (Level: Beginner to Intermediate)
Ocular Surface Reconstruction for Severe Ocular Surface Disease
During this live webinar, we will discuss the stages of severe ocular surface disease and limbal stem cell deficiency. We will review overlooked causes of limbal stem cell deficiency and management strategies. We will also examine limbal stem cell transplantation and ocular surface reconstruction, surgical techniques, donor selection, and immunosuppression protocols. (Level: Advanced)
Vitrectomy: It’s (Mostly) About the View
During this live webinar, I will give an overview of the non-contact and contact visualization options during vitrectomy surgery. We will discuss reusable versus single-use, wide-angle view versus detailed macular work, and contact versus non-contact lens systems. Videos and real intraoperative photos will be used to demonstrate these options. I will leave ample time for questions. (Level: Beginner to Intermediate)
Turning In and Turning Out: Management of Entropion and Ectropion
During this live webinar, we will discuss the management of entropion and ectropion. At the conclusion of this lecture, attendees should be able to: (1) identify the anatomic factors that cause both entropion and ectropion, (2) understand the clinical features caused by entropion and ectropion, and (3) select the most appropriate surgical treatment for entropion or ectropion based on the clinical situation. (Level: Beginner)
Gene Therapy for AMD: Are We There Yet?
During this live webinar, we will discuss the concept of retinal gene therapy and its use for rare and common diseases, and how the type of vector, viral dose, and mode of delivery dictate efficacy and safety in both preclinical and clinical studies. We will also discuss ocular immune privilege, the impact of biological barriers, and factors that determine the degree of ocular inflammation related to gene therapy - also known as gene therapy-associated uveitis (GTAU). Finally, we will review gene therapy programs in development for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), as well as early studies using CRISPR-based gene editing technology as potential treatments for AMD. (Level: Beginner and Intermediate)
The Clinical & Surgical Considerations of Gene Therapy in Retina Patients
During this live webinar, we will discuss the current state of gene therapy for retinal diseases. The indications, mechanism of action, and delivery routes for this novel class of therapeutics will be briefly reviewed. The latest efficacy and safety data of leading gene therapy candidates will be presented along with areas of continued exploration. The participant will leave the webinar with an improved understanding of retinal gene therapy and its potential applications. (Level: Intermediate)
