Description

Increasingly Optometry is playing a role as the primary provider in eyecare diagnosis, and referral for secondary and tertiary care. Concomitant with this is the duty to enhance our knowledge of the pathophysiological processes associated with ocular disease.

This short course covers three types of eye disease commonly encountered in optometric practice: diabetes, glaucoma and dry eye disease. The course discusses the underlying pathophysiology of each disease, allowing the student to better understand and manage these conditions.
