<p>Retinal Case Studies</p><p>Course Description</p><p>In this course, a number of common and unusual retinal diseases will be presented and discussed, including pertinent examination findings that will aid in the diagnosis of these conditions. When one goes to an art museum, with some experience, a Picasso can be distinguished from a Cezanne or a Renoir. In this course, multiple cases of various retinal diseases will be presented in a rapid fire (or perhaps, “slow” fire”) format, with the intent they can be described and identified. This lecture is not about the disease per se, but rather, it is the pattern recognition of the diseases that will be shown. We may not always be able to identify and name the retinal condition that we see, but we should always be able to describe the findings that we see on examination. Multiple examples of each condition will be reviewed.</p><p>Course Objective</p><p>The objective of this course is to acquaint the attendees with the clinical appearance of various retinal diseases in order to improve their diagnostic skills.</p><p>Course Category: Principles of Diagnosis</p><p>Age-Related Macular Degeneration - Degenerative Findings .
