IVI organised a two-day workshop on Optometric Management of Glaucoma,
facilitated by
Mr Michael Yapp, Chief Staff Optometrist at the
Centre for Eye Health, University of South Wales, Sydney.
Incorporating a combination of lectures, case
studies and practicals, the workshop enhanced the ability of practitioners to
differentially diagnose glaucoma through a systematic approach.
Jointly facilitated by Mr Yapp and Mr Uday Kumar
from LV Prasad Eye Institute, a discussion forum conducted as part of the
workshop engaged participants in critically analysing the approach to glaucoma
from an optometric perspective.
Around 15 Optometry educators and practitioners
from across India participated in the workshop held on 9-10 September 2014 at
IVI Hyderabad.
IVI acknowledges the support of Brien Holden
Vision Institute Foundation and Optometry Giving Sight in funding the program.
