- Thursday June 15, 1300-1700 TCOS workshop
- Sunday June 18, 0800-1700 TCOS scientific session
TCOS workshop
Thursday June 15, 1300—1700
Room 524C
Learning objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Review the clinical, anatomical, and physiological evidence supporting and refuting the two sides of the debate on anomalous retinal correspondence
- Compare old versus new thinking on types of vergence and how they interact under normal viewing conditions. Also the role of vergence in explaining responses to common sensorimotor clinical tests
- Identify risk factors for strabismus and strategies to use when managing these cases
- Discuss the role of thyroid function in thyroid eye disease (TED) and determine the differential diagnoses. They will be able to determine the medical, surgical and ophthalmic care for patients with TED

TCOS scientific session
Sunday June 18, 0800—1700
Room 524C
Learning objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Discuss Graves’ disease, appropriate management and atypical findings of patients with this disease
