WebinarXtra: Urgent ophthalmology cases

EyePod: The optometry podcast

This week Martin and Daniel bring you another WebinarXtra covering all those questions there wasn't time to answer during the webinar. In this episode, College Clinical Adviser Paramdeep Bilkhu MCOptom talks to Rhys Harrison - a consultant at the Bristol Eye Hospital, University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Trust.

Rhys' webinar was aimed at community optometrists and how they can identify patients requiring urgent referral. It focused on less well recognised cases, including Horner’s Syndrome, urgent causes of diplopia such as third nerve palsies, sixth nerve palsies and Wernicke’s encephalopathy.

Members can watch a recording of the webinar and earn one non-interactive CET point until 16 December 2021: https://learning.college-optometrists.org/course/view.php?id=264
