Glendale, CA (PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of Ophthalmology Volume 51, Issue 09: Eye Disorders in Children.
The goal of this program is to improve the treatment of pediatric eye disorders. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Compare the advantages and limitations of onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) injection and traditional surgery for treatment of strabismus.
2. Counsel parents as to whether BTX-A injection is an appropriate treatment option for children with strabismus.
3. Choose between glasses, patching, and atropine for treating children with amblyopia.
4. Prescribe the optimal dosing regimens to use with patching and atropine.
5. Choose between sequential and simultaneous surgery for bilateral congenital cataracts.
The original programs were presented by Stephen P. Christiansen, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology and Pediatrics, and Chair of Ophthalmology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, Michael X. Repka, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology and Pediatrics, and Vice Chair for Clinical Practice, Division of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus, Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, and Kara M.
