Summary

The advent of OCT has enabled a dramatic increase in the ease of detection of intra-retinal fluid as well as the ability to detect much smaller amounts than can be seen funduscopically.  Once detected, optometric management of intra-retinal fluid can vary from regular monitoring through to prompt referral. This lecture will detail the causes of intra-retinal fluid that can be detected with OCT and use a case based approach to highlight the key factors in assisting with differential diagnosis and subsequent management

By the end of this lecture, participants will:

1.       Have a better understanding of the differential diagnosis of intra-retinal fluid

2.       Have an increased ability to interpret OCT scans with regards to intra-retinal fluid

3.       Be able to appropriately manage or refer patients with intra-retinal fluid based on the current published evidence.

Assessment: There are 5 optional MCQS with this lecture.
