Course Description

This one-day course focuses on the assessment and management of acute ocular disorders at initial presentation, with teaching primarily case-based and centered on practical clinical decision-making. Attendees should already have a basic understanding of ophthalmic examination and surgical skills. During the course, we will cover the evaluation and management of a variety of conditions, including eyelid abnormalities, corneal ulceration, uveitis, glaucoma, acute vision loss, and orbital disease.

In the wet-lab, participants will gain hands-on experience with key surgical procedures such as eyelid laceration repair, tacking sutures for entropion, rotational eyelid grafts for large defects, canthotomy and reduction of globe proptosis, and 360° conjunctival grafting for severe corneal ulceration.

Course Objectives

At the end of this workshop delegates should be able to:

• Effectively examine and diagnose emergency ocular disorders
• Detailed review of diagnosis and management of corneal ulceration

• Practice a variety of ophthalmic surgical techniques useful for treating urgent ocular cases

Value to Your Practice

By the end of the workshop, attendees will feel more confident and capable in managing a wide range of ophthalmic conditions as they present in clinic.
