PS-The Ever-Evolving Pachychoroid Disease Spectrum
Description:
This course will provide an overview of the pachychoroid disease spectrum. After conceptually introducing the pachychoroid disease spectrum, the majority of the discussion will focus on central serous chorioretinopathy, pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy, and pachychoroid neovascularization. A brief review of rarer entities within the pachychoroid spectrum, such as aneurysmal pachychoroid neovascularization, focal choroidal excavation, and peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome will also be included. Diagnosis and management protocols from the optometrist's clinical stand point will be discussed.

Constant presence: Alliance builds reputation for patient safety advocacy
Founded five years ago, the Health Care Alliance for Patient Safety (HCAPS) is making good on its mission to advocate for patient safety and protect the fundamental doctor-patient relationship. The alliance’s advocacy will be recognized with the AOA’s Apollo Award during a ceremony at the 2023 Optometry’s Meeting® June 21-24.
