The Western NSW Eye Health Partnership is proud to present another clinical pearl webinar! Strengthen your confidence in recognising and managing common and urgent ophthalmic presentations in community optometry and primary care.
Overview
Hear from leading experts in both anterior and posterior eye care as they share practical, evidence-based insights you can apply immediately in your clinical practice.
Dr Capucine Odouard will present practical approaches to:
- Herpetic eye disease
- Blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC)
Dr Rahul Dubey will discuss:
- Recognising true retinal emergencies
- Differentiating urgent from non-urgent retinal presentations
- Navigating referral pathways for timely tertiary vitreoretinal care
Ideal for optometrists, general practitioners and other clinicians involved in eye care, this session aims to enhance clinical decision-making, support appropriate referral pathways and ultimately improve outcomes for patients with both common and vision-threatening eye disease.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognise key clinical features of common anterior segment disorders, including herpetic eye disease and blepharokeratoconjunctivitis.
- Apply practical management strategies for dry eye disease in community optometry settings.
- Identify retinal presentations that require urgent ophthalmic assessment.
- Differentiate true retinal emergencies from less urgent conditions.
- Select appropriate referral pathways for patients requiring tertiary retinal services.
