Ophthalmic Technicians' Meeting Set for April 19, 2008
On Saturday, April 19, 2008 SureVision Eye Centers is proud to host the annual Ophthalmic Technicians Meeting at the Comfort Inn Westport, in St. Louis. Each year this meeting draws technicians from the midwestern region to spend a day learning about new procedures and advanced skills to help with patient care in their practices.
This year will feature Senthil Krishnasamy, MD discussing Corneal Surgery and along with Mark Yates, OD they will discuss VRT, Vision Therapy for Brain Injury and Strokes. Technicians will learn to distinguish the specific problems that cause surgical problems with the cornea and how they are best evaluated and treated. VRT is the most exciting new treatment that can actually help patients regain visual field after strokes and brain injuries. Dr. Krish is the newest edition to the SureVision family of Corneal Specialists in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.
Edward Doisy, II, MD is going to explain the technician's role in evaluating the patient with diplopia, or multiple visual images. Dr. Doisy is one of the most experienced cataract surgeons in the midwest, performing over 1000 cataract procedures each year. Technicians will learn the key elements in measuring ocular motility and simultaneous binocular vision.
Lawrence Gans, MD and Sean Mulqueeny will describe the latest new developments in Laser Refractive Surgery. The new Wavelight Allegretto is the fastest and most accurate laser in the industry and it has a new paradigm in treating refractive patients that has caused refractive surgeons to reassess the way we perform wavefront analysis and laser programming for surgery.
Dr. Dan Walsh will review the technician's role in evaluating pupils and will review the signs of eye disease that are assessed simply by pupil testing.
Lastly, Dr. Gans will take a look at Things that go Bump in the Eye reviewing the lumps and bumps that range from the annoying to the deadly. Technicians will learn to evaluate tumors and will become familiar with different imaging technologies that will play an important role in the office evaluation of patients with tumors.
This will be the most exciting program offered for Ophthalmic Technicians this year. Don't miss it.
