COS-11 Clinical Update: Retina

Monday June 17, 2013, 1330-1500
Westmount

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

  • Describe the pros and cons of outpatient vitreoretinal surgery in the Canadian healthcare system.
  • Assess the benefits of digital triage in a large practice.
  • Discuss utilization and treament results of ranibizumab for wet AMD.
  • Compare and contrast results of studies on the use of intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor in central retinal vein occlusion.
  • List some of the prognostic factors for massive non-expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage.
  • Assess the utility of retro-illuminated infrared choroidal imaging in distinguishing polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy from neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
