Learn about the Fundamentals of Visual Fields with Dr. Mitch Ibach

Wow! Close to 2,000 eye care professionals registered for our first event of the Visual Field Extravaganza.

Dr. Mitch Ibach did a fantastic job educating us on "Perimetry Primer." He had incredible feedback from thousands of eye doctors.

Key takeaways:

• The 2 goals of visual fields: Detect and diagnose visual field abnormalities, and determine progression of visual field abnormalities

• Neurological defects are BILATERAL

• Retinal defects are MONOCULAR

• Visual fields are a MUST when managing glaucoma

• The American Glaucoma Society has defined mild, moderate and severe (check out their site - you may have been diagnosing the stage incorrectly like me!)

• There are new visual field devices that can be faster, easier for patients to tolerate, and easier for staff and patients.

Thanks again to Heru for supporting this event with an unrestricted educational grant.

Tune in for Part Two of our Visual Field Extravaganza taking place February 9, 2022!
