Start Course
Optomap and OCT scans can sometimes throw up some surprises. In this recorded lecture, Mr Ed Hughes discusses a selection of patient presentations from his clinics and shares tips & tricks to identify common and complex retinal pathologies. All are conditions which require a high level of expertise to interpret imaging accurately, as they can present with overlapping features or subtle changes that are easy to miss or misinterpret. Colin Davidson chairs the session.
This recording is accredited for 1 non-interactive GOC CPD point for Optometrists & Dispensing Opticians.
