Join AFOS for the April AFOS Tuesday Talk

AFOS Member, Dr. Jasmin Filpo, will present a 1-hr COPE accredited course titled "Co-Managing Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: An Evidence-Based Protocol for Optometric Practice ".  

This course provides optometrists with a practical, case-based approach to recognizing, triaging, and co-managing rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Participants will review risk factors, clinical presentation, and surgical options, while exploring post-operative complications and strategies for long-term patient care. Emphasis is placed on the optometrist’s critical role before, during, and after surgery to optimize visual outcomes and preserve vision.
