This interactive visual recognition and discussion session will offer insights into the importance of fundus image quality in the identification of a number of common conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, AMD and optic disc anomalies. Registrants will view a selection of fundus images and answer a series of questions before participating in a discussion covering the issues raised by each case. The session will include a review of the current photographic marker-based diabetic retinopathy grading systems used in the UK.

Learning outcomes:

Practitioners will be able to interpret digital fundus images and communicate specific findings to the patient

Practitioners will be able to recognise different levels of diabetic retinopathy and classify the level of disease using recognised national grading protocols

Practitioners will be able to identify a number of different conditions, which can be detected using digital fundus photography
