fresh ocular trauma. Awareness also has medico and legal
implications. This course is aimed at comprehensive
ophthalmologists and retinologists. After every didactic lecture,
which will be aptly supported by video demonstrations, there
will be audience interaction also.
The topics covered include:
• Introduction and pathophysiological basis of posterior -
segment ocular trauma
• Ultrasound imaging of posterior-segment trauma
• Immediate management of open globe injury including
occult scleral rupture
• Macular involvement in closed-globe injury
• Vitrectomy in open and closed-globe injuries-When, Why and
How
• Management of complicated trauma -related retinal
detachments
• Evaluation and management of retained intraocular foreign
body
• Post traumatic endophthalmitis-how is it different from post
