The Western NSW Eye Health Partnership is pleased to invite you to our upcoming webinar, Eye Care Essentials: Clinical Pearls from the Front to the Back of the Eye.
Designed for optometrists, general practitioners and other clinicians involved in eye care, the session aims to enhance clinical decision-making, support appropriate referral pathways and ultimately improve outcomes for patients with both common and vision-threatening eye disease.
This webinar brings together leading experts in anterior and posterior eye care to share practical, evidence-based insights that can be applied immediately in clinical practice.
Dr Capucine Odouard will present practical approaches to:
- Herpetic eye disease
- Blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC)
Dr Rahul Dubey will discuss:
- Recognising true retinal emergencies
- Differentiating urgent from non-urgent retinal presentations
- Navigating referral pathways for timely tertiary vitreoretinal care
This webinar will be moderated by Eliza Whiteley, a Geurie local and owner of Whiteley Optometry in Dubbo. Eliza holds a Master of Optometry with Ocular Therapeutic Endorsement from Deakin University, plus an Advanced Certificate in Children’s Vision, and has worked closely with local ophthalmologist Dr Liu with a focus on preventative eye health and managing chronic eye conditions.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognise key clinical features of common anterior segment disorders, including herpetic eye disease and blepharokeratoconjunctivitis.
- Apply practical management strategies for dry eye disease in community optometry settings.
- Identify retinal presentations that require urgent ophthalmic assessment.
- Differentiate true retinal emergencies from less urgent conditions.
- Select appropriate referral pathways for patients requiring tertiary retinal services.
