Target Audience and Needs

Comprehensive ophthalmologists, subspecialist ophthalmologists, fellows, residents, medical students, and other healthcare professionals need to receive regular updates on the management of common and rare ocular conditions.  Unique presentations of these conditions will be used as an impetus to identify key facets of each disease process and to review its natural history.  The series aims to improve patient care by demonstrating the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of ocular conditions to prevent serious complications and to maintain the standard of care supported by the medical literature.
