Presenter: Sanjiv Desai<br />
Saturday, 18 February 2012<br />
This is a basic level instruction course for ophthalmologists,<br />
which focuses on imparting appropriate skills in clinical low<br />
vision. The objective of the course is to impart skills in assessing<br />
low vision cases in the clinic and how to dispense low vision aids<br />
[LVA]. It begins by defining low vision and describing the<br />
common ophthalmic conditions leading to low vision. Then the<br />
cardinal principles of treating low vision are described, followed<br />
by exploring various types of optical and non-optical low vision<br />
aids [LVA] available in the market to enhance visual performance,<br />
their optics, their advantages and disadvantages and how to use<br />
them. Finally the course is wound up by discussing how to assess<br />
a low vision patient in the clinic and how to dispense low vision<br />
aids. At the end of the course, participants will become proficient<br />
in identifying and treating low vision cases in their day-to-day<br />
practice, thus, integrating low vision care into their clinical<br />
practice.<br />
