Courses

Course Objectives

The Basics of Electrophysiology

Understand the basic technical aspects of recording a varied of ocular electrophysiology procedures in a clinical or research setting. 

Importance of Standarized Testing

To be able to describe the importance of standardizing testing. 

Identify Waveforms
 

To identify waveform patterns in the setting of genetic retinal disease or visual pathway disorders. 

Waveform Variation
 

Distinguish between technique-related versus physiological and pathologic variations in waveforms. 

Featured Topics

Each session will include a live 1-hour PowerPoint presentation (either in person or via zoom) with handouts. Topics will address clinical and/or research testing technique in patients with retinal and visual pathway disorders. Course content can be customized to individual practice needs.
