There have been significant advances in the diagnosis and management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the past few years. AMD is the most common cause of vision impairment in people over the age of 50 years, affecting almost 200 million people worldwide. Primary health practitioners, such as optometrists, are often the first professionals to detect the signs and symptoms of AMD. As such, it is essential that they are up to date with the latest information on imaging biomarkers, risk prediction and management of people with AMD.

 

This e-learning course provides an evidence-based update for practicing clinicians, trainees and students. The course will upskill you on the use of new imaging tools, the interpretation of novel clinical biomarkers, and the use of visual assessments in the clinic. It will focus on improving your patient management, including information on how to advise people with AMD on the newest emerging treatments and technologies that could improve their quality of life.
