| Short CET Abstract : |
Indirect ophthalmoscopy is an invaluable technique in optometric practice. This workshop will allow delegates to conduct indirect ophthalmoscopy on model eyes thereby taking time (safely) to learn how to get the best images. A suite of condensing (Volk) lenses will be made available enabling the participant to understand the relative benefits of the lenses. |
