OVERVIEW

Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision 2023 is organized by Moorfields Education and will be held from Sep 04 - 29, 2023.

Description:
A highly sought after accredited virtual course delivered by world-renowned experts at Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.

Course Structure:
This course will feature live on-line lectures by an international faculty, interactive question and answer sessions and case discussions. Pre-recorded introductory lectures will cover topics such as anatomy, ophthalmic imaging and the clinical characteristics of genetic and acquired eye disease.

Please note that all live sessions will be recorded so that it remains possible to participate in the course regardless of time zone and also to begin the course after the live lectures have taken place. The course will be available until Sunday 5th November.

Optional Practical Day
The course also offers an optional practical day, to be held on-site at Moorfields Eye Hospital on Friday 29th September. In small groups you will watch practical demonstrations given by the Moorfields faculty and you will have an opportunity to undergo testing yourself, to experience electrophysiology from the patient's point of view. A maximum of 30 places are available.

Featured Topics:
The main course will include live lectures on the theory and practice of clinical visual electrophysiology. There will be lectures on electroretinography (ERG), pattern ERG, multifocal ERG, cortical visual evoked potential (VEP), the electro-oculogram (EOG) and extended ERG protocols. Topics will be addressed in the context of clinical applications, including specialised paediatric techniques, in a wide range of retinal and visual pathway disorders..

Benefits of Attending:

To understand the theory and practice of electrodiagnostic testing.
To understand the diagnostic and clinical applications of different electrophysiological techniques including the full-field ERG, multifocal ERG, pattern ERG, EOG, VEP and ISCEV extended protocols.
To interpret electrophysiological recordings in cases of inherited and acquired visual pathway and retinal disease.
To understand structure-function and genotype-phenotype correlations.
To understand the diagnostic value of electrophysiology in clinical practice.
