Traumatic Eye Injuries: Now What? by Sami Uwaydat, M.D. Review the sequelae of traumatic eye injuries. Familiarize the audience with expected ocular findings in patients with previous ocular injuries.
Retinal Emergencies by Ahmed Sallam, M.D., Ph.D. The objectives of this class are to list the important retinal emergencies seen in comprehensive practice, appreciate the need and the time period for referral of these emergencies, and understand why patients with retinal detachment may not regain full vision after surgery and how we may improve this.

Visual Field Defects: Looking Beyond Glaucoma by A. Mika Moy, O.D. (COPE ID: 74695-SD) Visual fields are an important diagnostic tool in the armamentarium of the optometrist although they are inherently flawed due to their dependence on patient execution and doctor interpretation. Three cases are presented where screening VF were key in finding underlying disease, glaucoma was on the initial differential, but eventually, retinal, or neurologic diagnoses were determined. Pearls on VF interpretation and patient management will be discussed. 1 hour |
| 8pm-8:50pm |
Sexually Transmitted Diseases and the Eye by A. Mika Moy, O.D. (COPE ID: 72861-AS) Sexually transmitted diseases STD can affect the eyes from red eyes to permanent loss of vision. As the rates of STDs are increasing in the United States, it is even more important for the optometrist to add these diseases to their differential. This presentation will highlight four cases of common STDs and give the clinician pearls for diagnosis and treatment and management. 1 hour |
