Course
in Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision
Venue: Maria-Theresia College
COURSE FULLY BOOKED
True to tradition,
a course in Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision will be held in conjunction
with the
XXXXth ISCEV symposium, on July 15 and 16, 2002.
Course Description
This introduction to electrophysiological methods and their
use in ophthalmic diagnosis will provide an overview of electrophysiological
tests in clinical diagnosis, how they are performed and interpreted, and their
integration with other clinical and laboratory tests to yield a diagnosis. It
will comprise lectures, discussions and hands-on practical sessions. All lectures
and course materials will be in English.
It is a basic course, intended for those interested in learning how to perform
visual electrophysiological tests and integrate the findings into clinical practice.
It will be of primary value to newcomers to the field and those wishing to improve
practical skills. It may also be of interest to more experienced practitioners
who wish an update or a general review, and to ophthalmologists who wish to
make optimum use of electrophysiological services provided by others.
