What's My Beef with Pharmacists
Bruce Onofrey, OD, Houston, TX
Many optometrists have a history of friction and frustration when communicating with pharmacists. These problems commonly stem from a lack of mutual understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the pharmacist and the optometrist. This lecture will clarify the responsibilities of each practitioner. These responsibilities include the welfare of the patient, avoidance of drug dosing and selection errors. The lecture will cover, in a case-based format, proper drug selection and dosing calculations for normal and special populations, i.e. pregnant patients and pediatric patients. 1 Hour IOB and Legend Drug, Pharmacology
10 am – Noon
Grand Rounds: Interactive Therapeutics-My MOST! Challenging Cases
Bruce Onofrey, OD, Houston, TX
This is a case-based, interactive lecture that covers a broad selection of difficult diagnostic/treatment decisions. Cases range from neurologic to anterior segment. Mismanagement of these cases could lead to both death and blindness yet can present to any practicing optometrist. The lecture covers management practices and guidelines that help the practicing Doctor of Optometry obtain a proper diagnosis and management plan to prevent catastrophic outcomes. 2 Hours IOB and Legend Drug, Trmt/Mgmt. Ocular Disease

Glaucoma: A Technology-Guided, Doctor-Driven and Patient-Centered Approach
Andrew Rixon, OD, Memphis, TN
The management of patients with various forms of glaucoma has been greatly enhanced by the emergence of various technologies.
