Abstract

TODAY’S OPHTHALMOLOGY PRACTICE IS DRIVEN BY A WIDE ARRAY OF DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS. EVERY SECOND DAY A NEW MACHINE IS INTRODUCED INTO THE MARKET. BUT DO WE NEED THESE NEW GIZMOS IN OUR DAILY PRACTICE OR CAN WE RELY ON OUR CLINICAL SKILLS TO ACHIEVE EXEMPLARY OUTCOMES. THROUGH THIS IC WE DISCUSS THE REAL WORLD APPLICATION OF VARIOUS NEW DIAGNOSTIC MACHINES IN DIFFERENT OPHTHALMIC SUBSPECIALITIES. DISTINGUISHED YOUNG OPHTHALMOLOGISTS DISCUSS THE PRACTICALITY OF HAVING THESE TOOLS IN THEIR PRACTICE. AT THE END OF THIS ONE OF A KIND INSTRUCTION COURSE, THE ATTENDEES WILL THEMSELVES BE ABLE TO JUDGE WHICH OF THESE TOOLS ARE ACTUALLY A REQUIREMENT AND WHICH ARE JUST A MARKET HYPE.
