This webinar will describe how to perform a thorough eye exam with commonly available equipment, and will outline treatment options for frequently encountered ocular emergencies, including when to refer (and call in a specialist). Emergencies outlined will include acute glaucoma, lens luxation, corneal lacerations, melting ulcers and globe proptosis. The focus will be on providing different treatment options, particularly immediate stabilisation.
