Ocular Effects of Neurodegenerative Diseases: Evaluation and Management
Increasing numbers of patients with neurodegenerative disease (both age-related and demyelinating) are presenting to eye care practices.  Even with the continual advancements in treatments for these conditions, many patients will develop related ocular sequelae. This course presents the expected ophthalmic manifestations, appropriate exams modifications, and vision rehabilitation strategies which can be employed in a primary eye care setting.  It includes a case-based discussion of Parkinson’s disease, parkinsonian syndromes, posterior cortical atrophy and multiple sclerosis.

Neuro-ophthalmic Disorders Grand Rounds
This course will use a case-based approach to familiarize eye care providers with a variety of clinical presentations which are signs of underlying neuro-ophthalmic disease.  The course will focus on helping practitioners differentiate neuro-ophthalmic causes of ophthalmic presentations from other causes. We will review in each case the appropriate in-office testing, focus on determining the urgency of referrals and creating appropriate management plans.
