The February 6th event focuses on opportunities to advance the clinical care of patients with anterior segment conditions. Participants will expand their knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric red eyes and co-managing complex cataract conditions. In addition, attendees will develop their clinical skills in treating anterior segment pathology, from the complex fitting and management of challenging scleral lens patients to utilizing amniotic membranes and biologics for healing anterior segment disease.
