Imaging in glaucoma: a practical workshop on OCT interpretation

Monday, June 20, 1045-1215canmeds_diagram_e
Room 206, Shaw Centre

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Interpret the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) printout
  • Differentiate between false positives, false negatives and true positives in optic nerve imaging
  • Apply different techniques for scleral spur identification in anterior segment imaging
  • Compare findings of different etiologies of angle closure on anterior segment imaging

GUESTS

Marcelo Nicolela, MD
Devesh Varma, MD

MODERATOR

Hady Saheb, MD

Schedule

During this interactive workshop, imaging experts will review advantages and disadvantages of optic nerve imaging versus optic nerve photography. An imaging printout as well as progression analysis will be thoroughly reviewed with a focus on pearls and common pitfalls. Anterior segment imaging will also be reviewed, with a focus on angle closure and scleral spur detection.
