OPT-7351 Posterior Segment Disease 2

Posterior Segment Disease 2 continues to build on the concepts introduced in the Posterior Segment Disease 1 course, regarding special testing of the posterior segment (fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and fundus photography) in the various conditions presented throughout this course. Specifically, there will be a comprehensive analysis on macular disorders, including age-related macular degeneration and other subretinal diseases which implicate Bruch’s membrane and can be complicated by the development of choroidal neovascularization. Additionally, the infectious and inflammatory conditions of the posterior segment will be explored, including but not limited to proper diagnosis and management.
