Optometrists are invited to attend a webinar on the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in retina cases, presented by Drs Christopher Go and Tiger Zhou from Vision Eye Institute.
Part of Optometry Australia’s Virtually Connected conference, ‘Comprehensive OCT insights and triage strategies for retinal cases: From diagnosis to management’ will cover common OCT findings in various retinal conditions and the appropriate referral/triage pathways, including referral urgency and therapeutic management, as well as an update on diabetic retinopathy. The session will conclude with a joint Q&A session, where attendees will have the opportunity to have their questions answered live.
The online session will be moderated by Stephanie Stavrinakis, Vision Eye Institute South Australia Clinical Relationships Manager and Optometrist.
It has been accredited by Optometry Australia Institute of Excellence Quality Assured.
