Course description

This learning module provides medical students with foundational knowledge and practical resources in ophthalmology. It adheres to the established Canadian curricular objectives, and is designed to teach high-yield information that is sufficient to succeed on the LMCC exam. Through teaching resources and practice questions, learners will review the anatomy of the eye and visual system, the basic eye examination, common ophthalmic presentations, ocular emergencies, ocular pharmacology, and appropriate management and referral.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, participants will be able to:

• Describe the anatomy of the eye and the visual system
• Perform a basic eye exam
• Evaluate a patient with acute vision loss
• Evaluate a patient with chronic vision loss
• Evaluate a patient with a red or painful eye
• Evaluate a patient with eye trauma
• Evaluate a patient with an eye movement abnormality, diplopia, or pupillary disorders
• Evaluate ophthalmic problems in children and describe the pathophysiology
• List the most important ocular side effects of systemic drugs
• List the common ocular medications that can have systemic side effects and contraindications to their use
• Describe when it is necessary to urgently refer

About the Webinar

Join Dr. Milad Modabber, Cornea, Cataract, and Refractive Surgeon at Herzig Eye Institute in Toronto, for an informative webinar exploring Galaxy and its clinical applications.

Dr. Modabber will share real-world data and insights from his own surgical cases, as well as experience from international users. The webinar will explore clinical outcomes, practical considerations for integrating Galaxy into surgical practice, and key features of the technology.

The program will conclude with an interactive Q&A session.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe key features and clinical applications of Galaxy.
• Review real-world data collected from Dr. Modabber’s surgical cases.
• Evaluate clinical outcomes.
• Identify practical considerations for integrating Galaxy into surgical practice.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course provides a comprehensive, clinically focused overview of neurotrophic keratitis. It emphasizes clinical reasoning, understanding the pathophysiology of corneal nerve damage, and identifying prognostic factors. Participants will explore mild to severe presentations, review evidence-based medical and surgical management options, and learn how to prevent long-term complications. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to manage neurotrophic keratitis across all stages to optimize both visual and anatomical outcomes.
