Hold or Hand Off? Referral Guidelines for Retinal Conditions in Optometry

 
 

This course discusses retinal cases encountered in the primary care ODs office, and asks if this is something that we can monitor ourselves (relax) or require referral to a retinal specialist for further treatment. Cases include lattice, retinal holes, choroidal nevi and more. Clinical pearls regarding follow up and appropriate referral criteria are presented.

Almost 1600 attended our event and we received amazing feedback!
