Description:
Clinicians are presented with unique challenges now that there are new and emerging treatments for geographic atrophy (GA). This educational activity aims to help clinicians recognize epidemiologic factors that influence GA, identify key findings on imaging throughout the course of GA, and understand the pathophysiology of GA in the context of new and emerging treatments. Because the end goal is always to optimize patient care and visual health, there will also be a discussion on incorporating education into patient encounters and the use of low- vision centers. The desired results of this educational activity are for optometrists to enhance patient communication to raise awareness and understanding of GA and its burden and to increase confidence for referral to specialists.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
• Recognize factors that influence the epidemiology of geographic atrophy
• Discuss the importance of diagnostic imagery throughout the course of geographic atrophy
• Describe the pathophysiology of geographic atrophy
• Incorporate education on geographic atrophy regularly into patient encounters
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
