Course Description

Overview

Stanford Center for Continuing Medical Education, Stanford Optic Disc Drusen: Human Measurements and Biomarkers of Optic Neuropathies, 10/6/2020 12:00:00 AM - 10/6/2023 12:00:00 AM, Internet Enduring Material Sponsored by Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by the Division of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine.Optic disc drusen are deposits at the beginning of the optic nerve in the eye that can cause irreversible vision loss by interrupting signal transmission between the eye and the brain. Vision loss may occur progressively over time like glaucoma or suddenly like ischemic optic neuropathy. These deposits are present in about 2-4% of the general population and can become larger and calcified over time, which cause compression and vascular insult that damage the optic nerve - the connection between the eye and the brain. The purpose of this CME course on optic disc drusen is to teach: (1) how optic disc drusen manifest in adults in children and how they cause vision loss, (2) genetic and systemic conditions associated with optic disc drusen, (3) biomarkers for optic disc drusen and vision loss, and (4) treatment and clinical trial design for optic disc drusen.
