About the 2023 Programme
The programme provides an opportunity for eye health professionals to maintain their competence in diagnosing and treating glaucoma, assisting them in delivering the highest level of service and most up-to-date treatments available. The 2023 cases were compiled and prepared by Professor Helen Danesh-Meyer and Dr. Hannah Kersten.
Four cases contain a combination of patient history, clinical examination findings, optic nerve photographs, visual field test results, optical coherence tomography scans as appropriate, and any other relevant clinical information. There are 40 optic discs to grade.
You can complete the programme in any order. It would be best for you to complete the programme using the same IP address.
To claim ODOB CPD credits, download the certificate for each Case and the Optic Assessment once completed.
Glaucoma peer review sessions facilitated by a glaucoma specialist are offered as part of the registration package. Please book your peer session – Tuesday 10 October. email Karon: info@glaucoma.org.nz
