Course Descriptions
​
Photos vs OCT: Does Old Technology Still Play a Role in Glaucoma Management (1CE hour)

Breaking News! Presbyopia Updates (1CE hour)
Description: This lecture will focus on the impact and burden of inadequately treated presbyopia, the role for corrective lenses and surgical procedures for the treatment of presbyopia and the classification of presbyopia. Newly emerging presbyopia correcting drops, their mechanisms of action and clinical evidence will be emphasized.
​
Focus on the Lids for OSD Success (1CE hour)
This course is a deep dive focusing on the eyelids for ocular surface disease success. Anatomy and pathophysiology of the eyelid including ptosis, meibomian gland dysfunction and Demodex blepharitis will be highlighted. Digital device use and mask associated dry eye will be covered. This lecture will describe how compromises to the lids can have a cascading effect on the ocular surface.
​
The Influence of Hormones on Ocular Surface Disease (1CE hour)
COPE ID: 73486-AS
Description: Many individuals are at an increased risk for vision-threatening ocular disease. With age and hormonal changes, female patients are at a greater risk for ocular surface disease.
