Last night, we had a small group workshop where 14 optometrists witnessed myself and Andrew perform an intravitreal injection on patients. There was also a Q & A session with the patients, where the optometrists got a perspective from the patients on their experience going through the treatment process for wet AMD. We wanted to cap the numbers at 12, to ensure that it was interactive and personal. We got a very positive feedback. Thank you all for joining us.
We are hosting an exclusive, interactive live case-based workshop. Join us to experience the patient journey— from diagnosis to treatment of Macular Degeneration.
Discussion will include:
• How to perform the injection painlessly
• How to minimise endophthalmitis risk
• Dealing with co-existing cataract
This eventis accredited for 3 CPD points.

This is an OCT of a 59 year old female who presented with slow deterioration of central vision. This OCT shows a full thickness macula hole.
This is a classic Cavernous Haemangioma with a great white cluster of aneurisms and on the fluorescein angiography showing classic fluid levels.
This is a photo of a lady I saw yesterday. She is 82 years old and suffers from emphysema. Despite this, she still smokes. She has had cataract surgery in the past and presented with a four day history of decreased left vision.
On examination, her visual acuity was Right 6/12 and left Count fingers only.
As you can see, she has atrophic changes at her right macula and a huge left macular hemorrhage. I made a diagnosis of wet AMS and injected Lucentis intravitrally.
I asked her to use Macuvision tablets and stressed that she must stop smoking. Let’s see how she goes, I’ll keep you updated.
