Demonstration and discussion workshop. This workshop session will give registrants an insight into how best to approach their own assessment of binocular vision, with practical techniques to ensure the best outcomes for their patients. The emphasis shall be a practical elements that shall enable the interpretation of cover test, ocular movements, accommodation & convergence, suppression, stereopsis and measure an angle of squint.

Over the past decade or so, myopia has undoubtedly become a ‘hot topic’ within the UK and beyond.  Despite the apparent practitioner interest in myopia control, only a modest increase in prescribing of myopia inhibiting solutions has been found.  Practitioner reluctance to undertake myopia control is a multifactorial issue, which may relate to concerns regarding safety, treatment efficacy, or cost.  This lecture considers a broader view by attempting to understand the views and influences of multiple stakeholders: patients, parents, practices, manufacturers, and practitioners themselves.

OCT is becoming a mainstream device and is found in an increasing number of practices throughout the UK. Even today, there is little time dedicated to OCT on the University courses and so many practitioners find using an OCT daunting at first. This lecture has proved hugely popular and is one of the most frequently delivered CET presentations of recent years.

The session provides an interactive presentation and lecture on OCT interpretation and basic principles. The delegates will learn what OCT is, why and how it is used and what different conditions look like with OCT. We will also cover common conditions and how to follow up and refer such patients as well as what other tests we might consider appropriate with such scan results.

This session will use four different scenarios to highlight areas where an interdisciplinary approach to patient care can be of benefit. This will include;

• Communication during history and symptoms of smoking and its adverse effects on the eye
• Cessation services and what they can offer
• Other pharmacy services available (meds review, travel vaccination services, blood work-up)
• Some stats on success rates

The invention and development of Optical Coherence Tomography as an imaging technique has completely revolutionised ophthalmology practice. The provision of a quick diagnosis from a non-invasive technique has allowed the timely introduction of sight-saving treatment with minimum impact to patient quality of life.

The technique has changed greatly since its’ invention, with it becoming vastly more widely available and a common staple of high street optometry in recent times.

This lecture will discuss the past, present and future of OCT including later developments such as OCT angiography, swept source technology, anterior eye imaging and the use of artificial intelligence to aid diagnosis and management decisions.

This discussion workshop considers three general ophthalmology cases which require critical thinking and clinical decision making in a community practice setting by both dispensing opticians and optometrists working in a multidisciplinary eyecare team.

The main themes discussed in this session include suitable choice of frame and lenses, accuracy of dispensing measurements (including PD and bridge design), and communication to ensure best cooperation when dealing with different paediatric presentations. There will be four case scenarios, including a child with an accommodative esotropia, a very young child with a negative bridge projection and a poorly cooperating child.

The session will be led by Les Thomas FBDO, dispensing optician and ABDO examiner.

There has been much speculation over the reliability and value of ocular supplements for the benefit of patients suffering from various conditions such as Dry Amd and DED (Dry Eye Disease). There have even been suggestions that conditions like glaucoma may respond to certain supplements and nutrients.

There are a large number of papers surrounding the topic and many do seem to conflict on what is considered effective and what is considered, at best, a waste of patient money and, at worst, malpractice.

This presentation aims to try and bring some clarity on the current situation regarding what may be considered a viable support to patient management and what needs to be avoided. We’ll consider current products and regulations. Clinicians should feel more empowered after the lecture on how best to approach supplements in their practice for their patients benefit.

This discussion workshop for dispensing opticians, optometrists and therapeutic optometrists considers three oculoplastics cases. Case one considers a presentation of an enlarging lid lump and its possible treatment, together with the distinguishing features and management of other lid lumps. In case two, we consider the cause and management of eye irritation following lid surgery to remove a malignant lesion before discussing the risk factors for eye lid malignancy. In the third and final case, we consider the management and referral options for a person affected by blepharospasm. Other forms of eyelid and facial spasm are also deliberated in case three whilst communication of patient explanations is also pondered throughout the workshop.

As our population continues to grow and change, the demands on healthcare services across the UK are increasing. As secondary care struggles to cope with the rising demands, more and more responsibilities are being passed to primary care. In an ever-medicalising profession, primary care optometrists are being required to adapt the way they practice in order to take a more active role in the management of their patients.

This lecture will discuss the changes occurring in primary care optometry as well as the emerging technological advances in both diagnostic and management techniques that are creating opportunities for specialist practice.

This session will use four different scenarios to highlight areas where an interdisciplinary approach to patient care can be of benefit. This will include;

• Communication during history and symptoms of smoking and its adverse effects on the eye
• Cessation services and what they can offer
• Other pharmacy services available (meds review, travel vaccination services, blood work-up)

During this session, delegates will view images of anterior pathologies and makes diagnostic/management and

referral decisions using an interactive voting system. Delegates will participate in a discussion of the issues raised by each case with the voting system allowing transparent viewing of all group’s responses.

The CET will support maintenance of standards in that all delegates who have completed the exercise will be better equipped to tackle such scenarios if they occur.
