Objectives for the Live Rounds:

1. To enhance understanding of clinical history analysis and clinical examination, particularly with reference to both established and less well established instruments and ocular data collecting systems. Particularly critical analysis will be directed toward recently introduced devices and equipment that fall under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, investigational new devices classified by increasing risk as I, II, and III.

2. To broaden differential diagnosis in scheduled topical areas such as introduction of genetic analysis and DNA probes, new staining techniques utilized to augment clinical understanding, and new radiation examination as with PET scanning.

3. To analyze current ocular disease related factors of the environment such as diet, multiple drug use, toxicology, light, genetically determined and domestically altered aspects in the production of ill health. Concepts of risk factors and ocular health promotion will be addressed in active roles of clinical practitioners.

Program content will be significantly guided by utilization of the American Academy of Ophthalmology ophthalmic content areas. These will be augmented by personal experiences occurring in the local environment and problems of concern to local clinicians in daily practice obligations.
