This course will explore a quick revision of the anatomy and pathophysiology of the eye in relation to glaucoma; the diagnostic criteria and principles of glaucoma management. Learners will also be taught to distinguish these from non-glaucoma presentations.
The Glauc-Go Course has been designed with eye specialists (private or institutional practices) practising general or comprehensive ophthalmology in mind. Ophthalmologists who are keen to update their understanding, knowledge, improve skills on glaucoma diagnosis and initiating medical therapy would benefit from the course.
This course is easily accessible online from the comfort of your clinics, offices or homes. The course content has been sub-divided into 3 modules, with a short online quiz following each module, to allow participants to consolidate what they have learnt.
The 3 modules aim to cover important topics such as distinguishing glaucoma from non-glaucoma presentations to help one confidently make the initial diagnosis and to ascertain the appropriate first line therapy.
Contemporary surgical options (including laser therapy) and pearls in the care of patients with low vision would be amongst the topics covered.
