Webinar: ‘Not a guessing game’ – using OCT to refine glaucoma diagnosis
This webinar explores the role of diagnostic tools and reports in optical coherence tomography analysis of the optic disc and nerve fibre layer for comprehensive glaucoma management. The session will provide a thorough review of how these tools can assist in differential diagnosis across various aspects of glaucoma.
Participants will engage with multiple real-world case studies, each illustrating different approaches and the best tools for interpreting OCT data when examining optic nerves and nerve fibre layers.
Additionally, the speaker will offer numerous practical tips and tricks to equip clinicians with effective problem-solving techniques for use in their practices.
Learning outcomes
- Practitioners will recognise the role of OCT in the diagnosis of glaucoma
- Practitioners will be able to compare a variety of OCT scan reports for glaucoma detection and diagnosis using an evidence-based approach.
