Dear colleagues,
If you are interested in giving a talk at one of our neuro-ophthalmology learning lounges at the AAO meeting this October in New Orleans, please contact me at
Kim.winges@gmail.com by Feb 28.
They are held usually on small stages in the exhibition halls. Last year we had fabulous content and speakers from NANOS hosting the topic list below, and we are open to any topics you think would have good comprehensive ophthalmologist appeal and can be interactive:
- Nystagmus 101: the basics of adult and pediatric eye jiggles
- NAION Know-How: Special considerations in non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy for the comprehensive ophthalmologist
(special considerations would be vitreopapillary traction, post-cataract surgery optic neuropathy and medication associated NAION like Ozempic)
- It's not (just) a tumor! neuro-ophthalmology and the orbit, a multi-disciplinary approach
- Optic nerve atrophy for beginners-when to worry and what to do (toxic/nutritional, genetic, prior history such as trauma/infection/inflammatory/papilledema, etc)
Thank you for your ideas and volunteering! The special programs committee of the AAO will choose from our collective ideas.
Kim
