Anterior Segment Workshop 2024
This workshop will deliver a complete knowledge bank of clinical know-how in assessing, managing, and providing follow up care for foreign body presentations involving the cornea and conjunctiva. Fellowship trained corneal surgeon Dr Colby Hart will share his expertise with tips and techniques to safely and efficiently remove corneal and conjunctival foreign bodies, including supportive therapeutic management. This clinical instruction will be complimented by a two-hour practical skills workshop utilising a unique, non-animal-derived model eye (SimulEYE® epithelial removal model). Experienced clinicians including Dr Colby Hart will guide optometrists in mastering clinical techniques including collection of conjunctival swabs, corneal foreign body removal, and corneal epithelial debridement using equipment such as standard hypodermic needles and Alger brush among others.
