Pachychoroid Spectrum of Diseases: More than Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
Wednesday, December 4, 2024
Option to attend in-person at Watermark Country Club or virtually via Zoom Webinar
Description
Foundation for Vision Research is excited to invite you to an upcoming educational seminar presented by Dr. Austen Knapp, who has recently joined Retina Specialists of Michigan. The event will follow a hybrid model and will be hosted in-person at Watermark Country Club and virtually via Zoom Webinar. Dr. Knapp will discuss how our understanding of the pachychoroid disease spectrum, including central serous chorioretinopathy, continues to evolve with enhanced imaging modalities and clinical observations. This lecture will examine where we stand based on current literature and discuss the different clinical entities within this spectrum, with an emphasis on central serous chorioretinopathy and distinguishing it from mimicking conditions.
Who Should Attend
Optometrists, ophthalmic specialists, general ophthalmologists, fellows, and ophthalmology residents encompassing all levels of experience and knowledge.
Objectives
At the end of this presentation, physicians should:
- Understand what is meant by pachychoroid disease spectrum based on the most current literature.
- Recognize the typical choroidal changes and clinical features that separate entities in the pachychoroid disease spectrum.
- Differentiate between anatomic characteristics and treatment requiring disease.
- Identify different presentations of central serous chorioretinopathy versus mimickers.
