Basic Eye Examination
Why should you care? Most practitioners are more comfortable handling blood or open wounds than performing an eye exam for a patient with a red eye. Unfortunately, only a very small percentage of time in school is dedicated to learning about the eye examination, diagnosis, and treatment of common diseases. Having a webinar aimed at an audience of non-eye care specialists to discuss this will be very useful for all health professionals.
Objectives
The purpose of this webinar, which is aimed at non eye-care specialists, is to discuss the basic eye exam and common eye diseases encountered in the primary care setting and their treatment.
- Basic Exam and Anatomy
- Common Causes of Red Eye
- Common Ophthalmic Issues in the Primary Care Setting
- Ophthalmic Emergencies
Learning Outcomes
- How to perform a basic eye exam (history, vision, pupils, pressure, and external)
- How to diagnose and treat different causes of red eye
- Learn how to treat the most common eye emergencies
