10 TOPIC OUTLINES STREAM 1 STREAM AM JULIE KIEL The emergency department and the eyes (T) Julie, an emergency medicine doctor who originally trained as an optometrist, will discuss the important details about how, when and why you would refer to your local emergency department and the medical emergencies that present with eye related symptoms. Importantly, this talk will help optometrists become familiar with what your emergency department can do and cannot do. 9.00AM KWON KANG Posterior segment manifestations of ocular trauma (T) Posterior segment injuries can be difficult to recognise due to subtle signs, difficult access and delayed manifestations. A careful analysis of the circumstances of the injury and understanding the potential mechanisms involved will allow the optometrist to suspect and identify trauma to the posterior segment. Severe posterior segment trauma can lead to blindness and requires definitive management in a timely fashion AM DARYL GUEST Cataract aftercare in the optometrist s chair what to expect and what are the surprises? (T) In this lecture, Daryl will share his experiences and lessons learnt in providing cataract aftercare for patients in the month after surgery. What is normal and what are the potential complications that can occur a few weeks after surgery? 11.00AM CLARE FRASER Headache - more than just a pain in the neck! (T) This lecture will cover the presentations of headache and the role of the optometrist. We will cover ophthalmic causes of headache and eye pain. Ophthalmic features of sinister neurological causes of headache will be reviewed. The other forms of headache that can have ophthalmic manifestations will also be discussed PM ADRIAN COHEN PLENARY SESSION: Concussion: the eyes DO have it! (T) Concussion is an increasingly visible topic in the daily media, and in our practices. This session takes you through the important optometric tests that help concussion diagnosis. 1.15PM ANTHONY CHAPMAN-DAVIES Management of common anterior segment traumas in optometric practice (T) Optometrists are often the first point of contact for patients with minor ocular trauma. In this case study based presentation, Anthony will outline the therapeutic management of these commonly encountered entities. 2.15PM ADRIAN FUNG Focussing on myopic retinopathy (T) This lecture will review the fundus diseases associated with high myopia, both in the posterior pole and retinal periphery. The management of myopic retinopathy and indications of ophthalmic referral for patients with myopic retinopathy will be discussed. 3.15PM DANA ROBAEI Poke in the eye with a sharp stick and how to repair it! Surgical management of penetrating eye injuries (T) This presentation covers a range of penetrating eye injuries, principles of surgical repair, and potential short- and long-term complications of such injuries. 4.15PM KATHERINE MASSELOS Ganglion cell layer thinning: is it really glaucoma? (T) This presentation will review the anatomy of the visual pathway and how it corresponds to ganglion cell and visual field defects. In particular retrograde degeneration from postchiasmal lesions will be discussed and how to distinguish this from glaucoma. 5.10PM PAULINE KANG Myopia control: from evidence to implementation With increasing myopia prevalence rates, there is a demand for effective strategies for myopia control. This presentation will discuss current evidence of various optical and pharmacological myopia control treatments, and methods of implementing evidence-based management of progressive myopia into clinical practice. 8.00AM ANGELICA LY Coherent interpretation of OCT (T) Are you confident in being able to distinguish vitreomacular traction from adhesion, or acute from early chronic central serous chorioretinopathy using OCT? OCT has evolved in a short 26 years to become a mainstay of routine optometric practice. This talk will showcase a range of OCT images of different macular pathologies and provide insight into how to best interpret these remarkable images. 9.00AM THAO AND GRANT HANNAFORD A practical approach to prescribing sports and occupational lenses This lecture will present a series of techniques to help the practitioner identify and fulfil the needs of patients with specific visual requirements for work/sport. Cases discussed will include prescribing for pilots, safety eyewear and target sports such as sports shooting AM ADRIAN BELL Amblyopia makeover: what s new in amblyopia? (T) During this lecture, Adrian will discuss the exciting opportunities that are becoming available to treat amblyopia in this new era of better understanding brain plasticity AM MARK KOSZEK Optometric archeology (T) This talk will help clinicians correlate certain clinical signs with prior pathological events.

11 STREAM 2 CONT. 1.15PM DARYL GUEST Disinfection in optometry: why bother, aren t we a clean lot? With new changes in legislation, Daryl will provide a timely update on the responsibilities of optometrists with respect to keeping our patients safe through appropriate disinfection techniques. Daryl will discuss the appropriate methods of disinfecting equipment that comes into contact with the eye, such as tonometers and gonioscopy lenses, as well as avoiding the spread of infection from patient to patient when managing red-eyes. How hard is it to keep a clean consulting room? When should you wash your hands, how and why? Are there legal implications if you are not following infection control protocols? Should my staff allow a patient with the flu to be in the practice? 2.15PM JACK PHU OCT in glaucoma: the red, the green and the in-between (T) OCT is becoming an increasingly valuable instrument contributing to the diagnosis and management of ocular disease such as glaucoma. We know that instrument outputs are highly dependent upon a comparison between the individual patient and that of the normative database. This talk will cover how individual variation may confound interpretation of results and how we can use our clinical skills to overcome some of these challenges 3.15PM WILLIAM TRINH AND JIM KOKKINAKIS Advanced ocular treatments in optometry practice (T) William will review Demodex blepharitis and adenoviral conjunctivitis before giving a step-by-step outline of how to effectively treat Demodex blepharitis in optometric practice and discussing the controversial use of topical Betadine and topical steroid in the treatment of adenoviral conjunctivitis. Following this, Jim will outline the potential uses and contraindications for punctal plugs and OptiMel TM in dry eye management. 5.10PM MICHAEL YAPP What s Your Eye-Q? (T) In collaboration with Young Optometrists and Centre For Eye Health Test and refine your differential diagnostic skills in this innovative, relaxed approach to interactive learning! This trivia-style CPD event will feature clinical case presentations and spot diagnoses with subsequent clinical information and pearls at the end of each round.
