Start Course
Glaucoma and retinal pathology frequently coexist, sharing risk factors such as high myopia, prior intraocular surgery and inflammatory sequelae. This recorded webinar explores the pathophysiological interplay, diagnostic challenges and collaborative management strategies for patients with concomitant retinal conditions and glaucoma. This is primarily an ophthalmology webinar however optometrists wishing enhance their learning may find it interesting.
This recording is accredited for 1 non-interactive CPD point for Optometrists and 1 RCOphth CPD point
