OCT interpretation: an ophthalmologist’s view and common vitreoretinal conditions- perspectives for the community optometrist

We will be running two CPD events back to back as well as a presentation by Alcon, with Nick Barrett speaking alongside Mr Mokete. In addition, Newmedica will be delivering a talk on private services later in the evening.

OCT interpretation: an ophthalmologist’s view

2 CPD points | For: optometrists and specialty optometrists (AS/SP/IP)

This lecture with discussion workshop focuses on using OCT over time to monitor disease progression. Delegates will explore how structural changes within the eye relate to OCT measurements and how evolving parameters influence management decisions. Case-based discussions support confident interpretation and clinical application in everyday practice.

Key learnings

Interpret structural OCT changes to monitor disease progression

Relate OCT findings to management decisions through case discussion

For specialty optometrists: apply enhanced OCT interpretation to support advanced clinical decision-making.

Common vitreoretinal conditions – perspectives for the community optometrist

1 CPD point | For: optometrists

This engaging lecture provides a practical update on common vitreoretinal conditions encountered in primary care. Delivered by a Consultant Ophthalmologist, the session supports confident recognition, appropriate referral urgency, and effective patient communication. Clinically relevant examples help delegates identify sight-threatening presentations and understand the indications and outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery.

Key learnings

Identify five common vitreoretinal conditions and recognise when urgent or emergency referral is required

Explain key indications and expected outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery to support accurate patient counselling.
