Presented by Lesya Shuba, MD, PhD, FRCSC

This module will consist of interactive discussion of clinical cases, allowing participants to discuss some challenging clinical scenarios in glaucoma. Participants will have a chance to review common features of glaucoma as opposed to other optic neuropathies, discuss unusual cases of inflammatory glaucoma, the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas of glaucoma in high myopic individuals, and the challenges of dealing with pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma, among others. The clinical cases presented in this module were selected to generate discussion, with several particularities of the cases highlighting the “beyond the evidence” general theme for this program, where no clear right or wrong answer exists.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the differential diagnosis of optic neuropathy
• Review inflammatory glaucomas and how to correctly diagnose and treat them
• Discuss pearls and pitfalls of OCT imaging in glaucoma
• Management of pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma
• Discuss clues and management for conditions masquerading as glaucoma

Program Schedule

6:30 PM: Hors d’oeuvres
7:00 PM: Presentation

CPD CREDITS

This event is an Accredited Group Learning Activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and approved by the Canadian Ophthalmological Society. Physicians may claim a maximum of 1.5 Section 1 credits.

Through an agreement between the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert Royal College MOC credits to AMA PRA Category 1 credits.  Information on the process to convert Royal College MOC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA web site under Agreement with the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada.

Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the learning activity.

Ms. PRK tells me she isn’t overly worried about her refractive outcome following cataract surgery. But, she’s also had previous refractive which certainly causes me to raise a red flag! This is a patient who clearly cares (or at least previously cared!) about refraction!

I’m reflecting on the Toronto Cataract Course 2019 that took place in March, where I had a wonderful time connecting with colleagues, learning new insights, and picking up pearls. The knowledge I gleaned at this meeting will definitely help me to optimize refractive results for my cataract patients.

In particular, we are all aware of the challenges in selecting intraocular lens (IOL) powers for post-refractive patients undergoing cataract surgery. Over the years, a number of different approaches to dealing with this challenge have been developed, but there is room for further improvement. The scope of this problem will only grow as we encounter more post-refractive patients requiring cataract surgery.

I would like to highlight two links that serve as the backbone of post-refractive IOL calculations in 2019. The first is the ASCRS post-refractive IOL calculator, and the second is Graham Barrett’s True K post-LASIK calculator. Armed with these two resources, I think many of us will be able to more effectively tackle these interesting cases going forward.

ASCRS post-refractive IOL calculator: http://iolcalc.ascrs.org/ – please be mindful to pick the appropriate previous refractive surgery along the top.

The Barrett True K calculator: http://www.apacrs.org/barrett_true_K_universal_2/.  With this calculator, please be sure to select the appropriate previous refractive surgery from the drop down menu.
