Duke Eye Center

About the Course

Given the current public health crisis due to the outbreak of COVID-19, and in the interest of public safety and after monitoring daily recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we have made the decision to postpone the Duke Glaucoma  Fellows  Course and  Wet Lab prior to AAO.

The fellows course will provide glaucoma fellows with a comprehensive overview of current practices and controversies in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma and experience in the latest surgical techniques. Fellows will be able to view surgical techniques and instrumentation and discuss how recent clinical trial evidence translates into the clinical setting.

Course Objectives

At the completion of this educational activity, attendees will be better able to:

Understand how glaucoma pathophysiology relates to risk of disease progression, diagnosis, and treatment
Identify patients at risk for glaucoma and diagnose those with glaucoma early
Select treatment optimally based on patient-specific needs and preferences
Minimize treatment-related complications through the optimal use of devices and surgical procedures
