Workshop on E-learning Tools
Presenters: Eduardo Mayorga, Karl Golnik, Gabriela Palis
Teaching Goal: To introduce participants to general aspects of
e-learning and have them practice with 3 tools used to produce
e-learning.
Learning Objectives: By the end of the workshop, participants
will be able to:
Explain the differences of synchronous and asynchronous
e-learning
Describe the main components of asynchronous e-learning
Add audio to a short PowerPoint presentation
Build three different types of questions with Quizmaker
Combine the PowerPoint presentation and the quiz with
Articulate Presenter to produce a web ready presentation.
Requirements:
Personal notebook with Windows as the operating system (no
Macs) and PowerPoint installed.
Minimum knowledge on how to create a slide in PowerPoint
The rest of the software will be provided on site
Methodology:
30-minute introduction.
60-minute practice.
To facilitate practice, teams of 2 or 3 participants will work on
each computer.
The workshop will allow a maximum of 6 teams.
Note: Since 3 participants will be working on 1 notebook, you
may register even if you are not bringing your own but it would
be nice if you bring one.

Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy-All You
Need to Know!
Presenters: Ian Wong, Wico Lai, David Wong
Objectives: To highlight the clinical features, diagnostic criteria,
treatment strategies, and future developments in polypoidal
choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
Summary of Content: PCV is characterized by recurrent
subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhages. Before
indocyanine-green angiography (ICG) imaging was popular, PCV
was sometimes misdiagnosed as neovascular age-related
macular degeneration (AMD). With the advent of imaging
modalities and deeper understandings of the disease, PCV is
now recognized as a separate entity, with its own unique profile
of clinical manifestations. Treatment strategy towards PCV has
been revolutionized by recent clinical trials using combination
therapy with ranibizumab and verteporfin. Currently, significant
differences exist between treatment for PCV and neovascular
AMD. There is a clear need in distinguishing PCV from
neovascular AMD.
Clinical photos, ICG findings, and optical coherence tomography
scans will be used to illustrate real cases. Small quiz towards end
of course will help audience fortify knowledge acquired.
At the conclusion of this course, the audience will be able to
distinguish a case of PCV, from a case of neovascular AMD. They
will know how to formulate treatment strategies for a new case
of PCV, and the most up-to-date evidences involved.
Target Audience: Subspecialists

Management of Complex Strabismus
Situations
Presenters: Ramakrishnan Subramaniam, Venkateshwar Rao
Bhoompally, Rajesh Prabu, Sandra Ganesh
Objective: Strabismus surgery, though appears simple and
straightforward, is not so in all situations. There are some
complex situations in strabismus where surgical plans becomes
really challenging. This symposium will discuss few of such
complex scenarios.
Summary of Contents: Management of Consecutive deviations
and resurgeries in strabismus is really challenging. The exact plan
and outcome depends on various factors like previous surgical
procedures done, adhesions etc. This discussion will be followed
by the talk on Transposition Procedures. Muscle transposition is
indicated in cases like Double Elevator Palsy, Nerve palsies etc.
The surgical plan, chances of post operative anterior segment
Ischemia etc has to be kept in mind. Vessel sparing procedures
will also be discussed in this context. Many of these complex
strabismus do better with adjustable suture technique and the
next talk will focus on this. Vertical, restrictive and pattern
strabismus needs special mention and we will discuss
management issues in the above situations with case examples.
Target Audience: Subspecialists
