Attendees will gain the skills to confidently utilise advanced diagnostic techniques, enabling them to identify specific characteristics and presentations of these conditions effectively. By the end of the learning journey, optometrists will be well-equipped to enhance patient care through precise and informed vitreoretinal evaluations in their practice.
There will be the opportunity for Q&A and further discussion at the end of the presentation.
