International Council of Ophthalmology Residency Curriculum Introduction “Teaching the Teachers” The International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) is committed to leading efforts to improve ophthalmic education to meet the growing need for eye care worldwide. To enhance educational programs and ensure best practices are available, the ICO focuses on "Teaching the Teachers," and offers curricula, conferences, courses, and resources to those involved in ophthalmic education. By providing ophthalmic educators with the tools to become better teachers, we will have better-trained ophthalmologists and professionals throughout the world, with the ultimate result being better patient care. Launched in 2012, the ICO’s Center for Ophthalmic Educators, educators.icoph.org, offers a broad array of educational tools, resources, and guidelines for teachers of residents, medical students, subspecialty fellows, practicing ophthalmologists, and allied eye care personnel. The Center enables resources to be sorted by intended audience and guides ophthalmology teachers in the construction of web-based courses, development and use of assessment tools, and applying evidence-based strategies for enhancing adult learning. The interactive feature, “Connections,” is the Center’s dynamic focal point, where ophthalmic educators can share ideas and collaborate with peers. The Center builds on the ICO’s original interactive online educational presence: World Ophthalmology Residency Development (WORD), which was developed in 2008 by Eduardo Mayorga, MD, ICO Director for E-Learning, and Gabriela Palis, MD, Editor-in-Chief, Center for Ophthalmic Educators. ICO Residency Curriculum The ICO Residency Curriculum is one of the many vital online resources available at the Center for Ophthalmic Educators. Originally published in the journal Klinische Monätsblatter für Augenheilkunde in 2006, the ICO Residency Curriculum recently underwent a thorough revision under the leadership of Andrew G. Lee, MD, Chair. The updated Residency Curriculum offers an international consensus on what residents in ophthalmology should be taught. Sixteen global committees, divided by subspecialty and guided by individual subspecialty chairs, updated the existing guidelines and references, reinforcing essential cognitive and technical ophthalmic skills. Changes include the addition of a new section, Community Eye Health. Refractive Surgery, previously a subset of Cornea, External Diseases, and Refractive Surgery, is now a stand-alone section. Like the 2006 curriculum, which outlined a broad-based curriculum, the learners’ experience and expertise is stratified at Basic, Standard, and Advanced levels of ophthalmic training; but a new fourth level, “Very Advanced,” corresponding to a “subspecialist” or “fellow” level of training, has been added. Within each training level “Must Know” items are identified by two asterisks (**). These levels of standardization act as a foundation for developing clear and defined milestones and provide benchmarks to gauge progress and performance. (For a more detailed description of ICO Residency Curriculum revisions, please see the Information for Educators.) The 2006 curriculum was developed following thorough collection and analysis of ophthalmology residency and training programs worldwide. At that time, the ICO deliberately shifted from an “Apprenticeship System” format, where content might be contingent on the bias of trainers, to a curriculum-based system, providing an educational framework where goals, expectations, knowledge base, competencies, and technical training are carefully defined to initiate the training process. Customizable Curriculum By being delivered online, the ICO Residency Curriculum is a “living document,” which allows for adaptation and translatability. While the ICO curriculum provides a standardized content outline for ophthalmic training, it has been designed to be revised and modified, with the precise local detail for implementation left to the region’s educators. Adaptability is important because causes of blindness and reduced vision differ widely, and curricular components essential in one geographical locale may be less important in other regions. Similarly, economic and social developments vary globally, and treatments and techniques considered indispensable for one region might be unattainable or unimportant for others. Standards may need to be modified according to local priorities, goals, needs, culture, governmental policies, social systems, financial constraints, varying use of allied care personnel, and differing tangible resources. The ICO’s goal is to create a curriculum of enduring value for widely different regions regardless of nationality, culture, medical market maturity or socioeconomic status. Future Curricula Plans The ICO plans to use the addition of the “Very Advanced” level of training as a basis to next define curricula for the ophthalmologic subspecialties. Other ICO Educational Programs The ICO acts to support ophthalmic education, advocate quality eye care, and advance scientific ophthalmology through support of ICO programs, which include: World Ophthalmology Congress (WOC). First held in Brussels in 1857, the WOC is the longest continuing international meeting in all of medicine World Ophthalmology Education Colloquium. Started in 2008, this series of six symposia and keynote talks held during the WOC engages educators in redefining the most effective ways to teach. ICO International Examinations for Ophthalmologists. The ICO Examinations promote the excellence of eye care worldwide by encouraging individuals to acquire and maintain the highest standard of practice of ophthalmology and are the only worldwide medical specialty examinations ICO International Fellowships and Helmerich Fellowships. The ICO offers International Fellowships in duration of three months and one year. The International Fellowships were established to help young ophthalmologists from developing nations improve their practical skills and broaden their perspectives of ophthalmology. The Helmerich one-year fellowships offer advanced subspecialty training to ophthalmologists to help transmit new knowledge to the home country. Education Committees and Task Forces. The ICO has multinational committees and task forces focused on defining, disseminating and implementing curricula and guidelines involving educational programs for medical student education, residency training, directors of residency education, allied health personnel education, continuing medical education, subspecialty education, and emerging technologies for innovative ophthalmic education. Program Directors and Trainers Courses. The ICO sponsors courses on a local level that provide trainers with good practices from existing teaching models by sharing and modifying existing teaching tools and curricula materials. Regional Conferences for Ophthalmic Educators. The ICO organizes conferences for ophthalmic educators in collaboration with supranational and national societies. The Conferences cover modern educational theory, methods, and tools with interactive workshops and discussion groups. Detailed information about these and other ICO educational programs are available on the ICO’s website: www.icoph.or or at: http://icoph.org/refocusing_education.html.

  • Glaucoma Related to Ocular and Orbital Tumors Sonal P
    Chapter Glaucoma Related to Ocular and Orbital Tumors Sonal P. Yadav Abstract Secondary glaucoma due to ocular and orbital tumors can be a diagnostic challenge. It is an essential differential to consider in eyes with a known tumor as well as with unilateral, atypical, asymmetrical, or refractory glaucoma. Various intraocular neoplasms including iris and ciliary body tumors (melanoma, metasta- sis, lymphoma), choroidal tumors (melanoma, metastasis), vitreo-retinal tumors (retinoblastoma, medulloepithelioma, vitreoretinal lymphoma) and orbital tumors (extra-scleral extension of choroidal melanoma or retinoblastoma, primary orbital tumors) etc. can lead to raised intraocular pressure. The mechanisms for glaucoma include direct (tumor invasion or infiltration related outflow obstruction, tra- becular meshwork seeding) or indirect (angle closure from neovascularization or anterior displacement or compression of iris) or elevated episcleral venous pressure secondary to orbital tumors. These forms of glaucoma need unique diagnostic techniques and customized treatment considerations as they often pose therapeutic dilemmas. This chapter will review and discuss the mechanisms, clinical presenta- tions and management of glaucoma related to ocular and orbital tumors. Keywords: ocular tumors, secondary glaucoma, orbital tumors, angle infiltration, neovascular glaucoma, neoplastic glaucoma 1. Introduction With the advent of constantly evolving and advancing ophthalmic imaging tech- niques as well as surgical modalities in the field of ophthalmic diseases, diagnostic accuracy, and treatment outcomes of ocular as well as orbital tumors have improved remarkably over the past few years. Raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is known to be one of the presenting features or associated finding for numerous ocular as well as orbital tumors. Ocular and orbital tumors can cause secondary glaucoma due to various mechanisms.

Dzhelebov2 1Department of Neurosurgery, Trakia University – Stara Zagora, Bulgaria 2Department of Ophthalmology, Trakia University – Stara Zagora, Bulgaria 3First Department of Internal Diseases and General Medicine, Trakia University – Stara Zagora, Bulgaria Abstract. Background and purpose: The occurrence of primary orbital lymphoma com- prises approximately 1% of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and 8% of extranodal lymphoma. The vast majority of orbital lymphomas are of B-cell origin, of which extranodal margin- al zone B-cell lymphoma is the most common subtype. The purpose of this paper was to present the diagnostic challenges in a case of orbital lymphoma. Case presentation: An 84- year -old woman with orbital tumour was operated on after a long period of inappropriate treatment. It was later diagnosed as B-cell lymphoma. Conclusion: Orbital lymphoma can be easily mistaken for another ocular disease due to the slowly progressing non-specific complaints of the patients. We should be alert to the possibility of this ocular diagnosis when we are presented with an elderly patient with proptosis.

Background: Lymphoid tumours are the most common primary orbital malignancy in adults constituting about 10% of all orbital tumors1 and about 2% of all lymphomas.2 Lymphoma represents about 13% of primary malignant eyelid tumors.3 Orbital lymphoma may present as in localized form (orbit, lacrimal gland, lids, and conjunctiva) of systemic lymphoma . Majority of orbital lymphomas are non Hodgkin’s type and are seen primarily in adults in the 50 to 70 year age group. Orbital lymphoma can affect the conjunctiva, eyelid, and orbit/lacrimal gland as well as the nasolacrimal drainage system. The reported frequencies of involvement in these sites are the conjunctiva 20– 33%, orbit/lacrimal gland 46–74%, and eyelid 5–20%.4,5 Orbital lymphomas are usually unilateral but may involve both orbits and demonstrate a predilection for the lacrimal gland. Bilaterality is reported in 10–20% of cases.
