Title
Assessing Structural and Functional Progression in Glaucoma
Summary
Glaucoma Is a Chronic Progressive Optic Neuropathy. Visual Fields (Documenting Function) & Imaging Devices (Documenting Structure) Are Commonly Available Clinical Tools Used to Diagnose & Ascertain Progression. the Devices Have Tools & Parameters, Which Help Us Understand the Disease Process Better. It Is Well Known That Some Patients Are Rapid Progressors While Others Are Slow. It Is Important to Understand Each of Them Properly, as It Is the “Human Interpretation” Which Decides the Management Plan to Save Sight Years. with Seven Experience Based, Case & Video Presentations, Assessment Tools and Pitfalls Will Be Covered. the Instruction Course Targets Young Practitioners, Fresh Post-graduates & Residents. at the End of the Course, Attendees Will Be Competent & Confident in Understanding Progression, Ignore the Noise/artefacts to Manage Glaucoma Patients in Their Practice. the Presentations Will Be Followed by Panel Discussion, Audience Participation and Question and Answer Session
