The session will help practitioners become more confident in diagnosing and managing eyelid conditions in primary care.

This lecture will explore the expanding role of photobiomodulation, or Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT), in optometric practice. From its increasingly common application in managing anterior segment conditions and dry eye disease, to the latest advancements showing promising results in reducing drusen volume and improving visual acuity in patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the session will highlight the growing body of clinical evidence supporting its use.

While increasing availability of clinically useful interventions to slow the progression of myopia offer choice, they also have the potential to increase complexity for both the eye care professional (ECP) and the parents in clinical prescribing decisions. Given that a young child with myopia has a long runway of progression ahead of them, ECPs will need to adopt flexibility in prescribing myopia controlling interventions as young children become young adults. Myopia management could be a 10+ year commitment and an eight year old will have different needs and motivations than an 18 year old. Equally, good adherence with the recommended wear time with any of the interventions is essential to achieve maximum myopia control potential. Ultimately, the best option is what is right for a given moment in time and ECPs and families may need to evolve as the child grows up in a myopia management intervention. This lecture will discuss a variety of scenarios that ECPs could face when myopic children return for their routine follow-up appointments and share management approaches supported by the evidence base for each scenario.

Evaluation of the peripheral retina is critical in the diagnosis and follow-up of retinal diseases. Signs arising from periphery are particularly dangerous because typically they don’t immediately affect patients’ sight, and so they may be not noticed in time. Ultra-widefield imaging enables early detection and monitoring more extensive ocular pathologies that may first present in the periphery. At the centre of the retina, even very small signs of pathology can have a dramatic impact on patients’ vision. Image quality enabling detail discrimination capacity, from macula to the periphery, is crucial. Devices designed to provide ultra-widefield, high-quality retinal images are the key for appropriate disease management.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the landscape of eye care, offering innovative solutions and enhancing clinical practice across various domains. This interactive lecture will explore the role of AI in key areas of eye care through a patient’s life: paediatrics, contact lenses, dry eye, and age-related ocular conditions. We will discuss how AI-driven image analysis, digital tools, and education platforms are shaping the future of eye care, while addressing critical ethical and regulatory considerations. Participants will gain insights into practical applications of AI and its impact on clinical decision-making, with opportunities to engage through live polls.

This peer review is broken down into three stages and considers why effective communication is so important, three different models of breaking bad news, and keeping safe in the eyes of the law.

Headache and migraine presentations can be a challenge for both the patient and the practitioner. Trying to assess if there is an ocular cause is the primary objective. Reassuring the patient that what they have is within the normal parameters of headaches and migraines or directing them to their local GP for further assessment is the typical standard of care. However there are times when a sinister presentation presents in primary practice and practitioners need to be armed with the knowledge of how to differentiate the simple from the sinister sight-threatening and life-threatening conditions. Clinical pearls, red flags and best-practice strategies of how to prepare for these eventualities will be considered along with classification and features, referral criteria and social prescribing.

This session highlights the importance of prioritising mental health and wellbeing as an eye care professional to improve decision making and enhance patient outcomes. Research has identified unique occupational pressures and delegates will discuss using case scenarios how to best support each other and individuals at risk of declining mental wellbeing. Delegates will explore strategies for maintaining a healthy work-life balance and fostering a positive workplace culture. Topics will include stress management techniques, dealing with challenging situations, building supportive work relationships, cultivating positive patient interactions and promoting overall wellbeing.
