Glaucoma for the General Ophthalmologist - Basic Knowledge

The Glauc-Go Course has been designed with eye specialists (private or institutional practices) practising general or comprehensive ophthalmology in mind. Ophthalmologists who are keen to update their understanding, knowledge, improve skills on glaucoma diagnosis and initiating medical therapy would benefit from the course.

This course is easily accessible online from the comfort of your clinics, offices or homes. The course content has been sub-divided into 3 modules, with a short online quiz following each module, to allow participants to consolidate what they have learnt.

The 3 modules aim to cover important topics such as distinguishing glaucoma from non-glaucoma presentations to help one confidently make the initial diagnosis and to ascertain the appropriate first line therapy.

Contemporary surgical options (including laser therapy) and pearls in the care of patients with low vision would be amongst the topics covered.

This course will commence from Wednesday, 15 May 2024, 12 AM (SGP Time).

After all lessons have been attended, you will be able to access the Self-Assessment MCQ component, which must be passed satisfactorily in order to complete the module. The pass mark is 50%.
