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 answers a series of questions before participating in a discussion covering the issues raised by each case. The session will include an update of the current diabetic retinopathy screening and grading systems used in the UK.

Learning outcomes:

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

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