Learning Objectives

Learners will recognize conditions managed by retinal specialists, including complications of cataract surgery and retinal detachment, and then create plans for appropriate timing for referral or how to begin initial/temporizing treatment until the patient can reach a retina surgeon.
Learners will be able to recognize intraocular lens (IOL) dislocations and their effects on patients/vision, and identify options for management, visual outcomes, and potential complications that can occur with scleral-fixated IOL surgery.
Learners will describe relevant updates to the current state of telemedicine and/or artificial intelligence in ophthalmology, in considering pros/cons for incorporating into clinical practice.
