Two cutting-edge SECO courses on injectable medications in eye care and modern-day retinal cases will be sponsored, in part, by Primary Care Optometry News.
Brad Sutton, OD, FAAO, a clinical professor at the Indiana School of Optometry and service chief at the Indianapolis Eye Care Center, will cover injection techniques used by optometrists.
He will detail the technique involved with subcutaneous, intralesional, intramuscular, subconjunctival and intravenous injections, along with proper sterile preparation. He will also cover indications for use and the pharmacology of injectable medications.
Jay M. Haynie, OD, FAAO, executive clinical director at Retina & Macula Specialists, a four-location practice in Washington State, will present retina case reports with an emphasis on evidence-based clinical trials and treatment based on current standards of care.
For example, Haynie will discuss how sleep apnea can contribute to the progression of many retinopathies and diagnosing idiopathic parafoveal retinal telangiectasia, small choroidal melanocytic tumors and transient cystoid macular edema.
Both courses will be held during SECO, Feb. 26, at the Georgia World Congress Center. – by Nancy Hemphill, ELS
