Live, Interactive Webinars

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) antibodies have been the pillar of therapy for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, anti-VEGF therapy requires frequent, repeated intravitreal injections that pose significant burdens for patients, their caregivers, and the healthcare system. Additionally, anti-VEGF therapy is completely ineffective for patient with atrophic age-related macular degeneration. Angiopoietin (Ang) pathways have recently shown the potential to provide a new treatment target that can reduce inflammation in neovascular AMD and DME. Likewise, the cleavage of complement protein C5 is being targeted for treatment options in geographic atrophy. In this session, we will focus on current and emerging therapies for AMD and DME.

During this live webinar, we will discuss approaches, techniques, and technologies that help to improve outcomes in anterior segment surgeries and procedures. We will cover lens options for anterior segment YAG lasers such as SLT, capsulotomy, and iridotomy. We will then transition to the operating room to explore ways to improve intraoperative visualization including heads up digital microscope markers, maximizing the red reflex, and viewing the angle with different gonioprisms for MIGS.

This live webinar will provide an overview of previous and current limbal stem transplantation techniques and will delve into the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. Recently published research in the field of limbal stem cell deficiency will be reviewed, including diagnostics, genetics and therapeutics. The webinar will conclude with a look at potential future directions in the realm of limbal stem cell transplantation.

During this live webinar we will discuss therapies that may help treat geographic atrophy as well as what the pipeline hold in regards to Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Questions received during registration and during the webinar will be discussed.

This live webinar will cover cataract surgery in eyes diagnosed with various forms of glaucoma. An emphasis will be placed on case examples and videos for understanding how decisions are made by each surgeon. Topics will include pseudoexfoliation, IOL selection, combining cataract surgery with MIGS and other pearls for practice from experts around the globe. Each talk is 15 minutes and we will end with 30 minutes of live questions & answers.

During this live webinar, we will discuss the best techniques and technologies used to diagnose and clinically treat diseases of the posterior segment. We will go over the optimal lenses to examine different patients from a retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) patient in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to an adult patient with diabetes who needs to be evaluated for clinically significant cystoid edema (CSME). The speaker will also discuss which lenses provide the best visualization for different anatomic regions of the posterior segment at the slit lamp and also with the indirect headset, including tips and tricks to help during laser procedures like pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP), treating horse shoe tears, and CSME. Questions received during registration and during the webinar will be discussed.

The clinical diagnosis of typical RP has been recognized for decades. With the exciting advances in the dynamic field of ocular genetics and new therapies emerging to now treat this disease it is now imperative that ophthalmologists turn the well-recognized phenotype into a genotype by carefully considering the whole patient, their family and the details of their presentation to make a diagnosis of a specific type of RP. In the talk, the speaker will go over the clinical and genetic work-up of these patients as well as the other ocular and systemic findings that such patients may have and how to best lead these patients towards clinical trials and possible treatment. We will discuss the current and emerging therapies to maximize patient outcomes. There is an exciting revolution occurring in inherited retinal diseases. All eye health professionals should be aware of what we currently (and soon will) have available to help these patients.

During this live webinar, the audience will be able to identify advanced glaucoma patients, how to diagnose and follow up, the role of different diagnostic technologies, and how to treat either medically or surgically. Questions received during registration and during the webinar will be discussed.

During this live webinar, the following topics will be discussed by the panel: “Burnout in Ophthalmology - Importance of Balance in our Career” by Dr. Grossniklaus, “How Do Leaders Help Themselves and Others Prevent Burnout?” by Dr. Fountain, and “My Personal Burnout and Inspiration through Orbis” by Dr. Suh. Questions received during registration and during the webinar will be discussed.

During this live webinar, we will discuss the basics of ultrasound B scan, its indications, examination techniques and common posterior segment conditions seen on ultrasound B scan. Questions received from registration and during the webinar will also be discussed.

The live webinar will review the typical approach to evaluating a Uveitis patient and ultimately proceed to diagnosis and management of the Uveitis patient. This is an introductory lecture but will cover important aspects of differentiating infectious from non-infectious Uveitis.

During this live webinar, we will discuss various medical and ocular conditions that can lead to acute onset myopia. Topics will include congenital and environmental factors that can lead progressive myopia in pediatric population, as well as various preventions and treatments to reduce myopia in pediatric patients. Questions received during registration and during the webinar will be discussed.

During this live webinar, we will define five potentially life or vision threatening conditions in neuro-ophthalmology. At the end of the webinar, you will be able to describe the key clinical features of the five conditions, as well as list the key imaging features differentiating the five conditions.
