| Short CET Abstract : |
This presentation allows delegates to learn interactively about slit-lamp techniques in a way that will help them clearly see how techniques are performed. Using a live high definition video feed delegates ara able to see the techniques being conducted live and can indeed ask tutors to repeat and explain procedures. This talk is a prelude to a practical session when delegates will, with tutors, go through the techniques themselves. |
