GL-Maximizing OCT Interpretation in Glaucoma
Description:
This course explores in detail the various parameters obtained when OCT technology is used in diagnosing and managing glaucoma, with an emphasis on knowing which specific parameters to examine to determine whether glaucoma actually is present or if it is progressing. A discussion of identifying the specific locations where early disease is detected and imaging these areas in the appropriate fashion is had. Interpretation of clinical significance is discussed, along with the role of reference data bases. Practical clinical guidance is presented in ways to approach a glaucoma suspect, with emphasis on determining whether there is frank disease versus only risk factors, as well as ways to approach the established glaucoma patient and looking for structural indicators of progression. OCT-A use is also discussed.

Doctors of optometry challenge reasoning behind proposed Eyeglass Rule changes at FTC workshop
The recent workshop heard testimony from various stakeholders on the potential impact that proposed changes to the Eyeglass Rule might have on consumer choice and the burden on the practices of doctors of optometry and ophthalmology, which are already understaffed and saddled with other federal regulation. The Federal Trade Commission will use the feedback to determine whether to go forward with its recommendations.
