Learning Objectives
  • Learners will be able to identify the various presentations of ocular melanoma and the utility of ancillary tests.
  • Learners will be able to identify different options of refractive surgery and identify how advances in technology can benefit patients.
  • Learners will recognize time-sensitive adult and pediatric ocular diagnoses which would most benefit from subspecialty care, versus those that need immediate action, versus those that can be managed locally.
