Cataract Update:
Complicated Cataract Cases: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Saturday, February 27, 2021 / 7:35 A.M. - 12 P.M. ET
LIVE STREAM ONLY
Program Chairs:
Robert D. Lehman, Jr., MD
Description:
This conference will focus on Cataract Surgery as a constantly changing area of ophthalmology, needing new techniques and technologies as well as new uses for existing technologies. These techniques vary in relation to the diversity of clinical situations encountered in the day-to-day practice of ophthalmology. For many physicians in community ophthalmic practice, the exposure to these new strategies is limited to journals and periodicals or “word-of-mouth " information from colleagues. Through the conference, participants will develop Best Practices by integrating case presentations from the presenters and be able to analyze and assess their complexities.
At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss important new advances in the etiologies, diagnosis, and treatment/prevention of eye diseases.
- Identify basic and clinical vision research that can be transformed into improved clinical care.
- Assess the role of new technologies in the evaluation and treatment of eye diseases.
- Describe factors that impact the effective delivery of the highest quality eye care for the public.
- Identify clinical, scientific, and ethical issues confronting the profession.
- Obtain information and tools through multiple facets to help ophthalmologists deliver high and efficient quality of care.
