AccreditationJCAHPO, AOC, and OPS Credits have been applied for.

Target AudienceNurses, Ophthalmic Medical Personnel (All levels of certified and non-certified assistants, opticians, contact lens personnel), and health care students.

Workshop PrerequisitesThe prerequisite for each workshop is to already possess a basic knowledge of that particular skill. The workshops are designed to help ophthalmic medical personnel further hone the skill and, through hands-on instruction, demonstrate the best clinical applications of that skill.

What’s IncludedYour registration includes a full day of course instruction, e-syllabus, educational credits, continental break fast, coffee breaks, delicious hot buffet luncheon, access to exhibits, and a hosted reception.

Attendance Verification and CreditStep 1: Submit Attendance Cards as you Attend Classes & Workshops. JCAHPO now requires that we document each participant’s attendance at each session throughout the day. Prior to the meeting you will receive by mail your nametag, personalized schedule and a set of attendance cards (one for each of your classes). Be sure to bring these with you on the day of the meeting! As you enter each classroom, you will insert your attendance card for that hour’s class into the box next to the classroom door. These cards are collected ten minutes after the class begins. Failure to deposit your attendance card into the correct box by that time means we will not be able to verify your attendance and you will not get credit for that hour. So please help us with your full cooperation in this system!

Step 2: Complete Evaluation. Following the meeting you should go back to the e-syllabus and click on the link to complete your online program evaluation.

Step 3: Receive your Certificate. Within 30 days after the program, the WAEPS office will send you (via email) a certificate showing the courses you attended. Please feel free to contact us in mid-May if you have not yet received your certificate and we’ll resend it.

Step 4: Retain your certificate of completion for your next re-certification process. Please be sure to keep your CE certificates in a safe place until you need them. You are responsible for holding on to them.

Watch for your e-syllabus link

There will be no printed handouts for this meeting. One week prior to the meeting, you will receive an email with a link for access to your e-syllabus. We encourage you to use it to access important information before you arrive, including printable/down loadable speaker handouts, an updated schedule, and driving and parking directions.

WAEPS 2017 Workshop Descriptions (continued)

39, 45. LENSTAR Optical Biometry: Best Practices | Cara Fletcher – Haag-Streit

This hands-on workshop will provide an in-depth overview of the Haag-Streit LENSTAR including a demonstration of how to best obtain biometry measurements, including axial length, keratometry, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, white-to-white measurements, pupilometry and eccentricity of the visual axis. The course will also include information on the newest IOL formulas available and circumstances that dictate which are best for particular eyes, along with tips on obtaining quality measurements on difficult patients, including those who are post-refractive surgery.objectives:

1. Demonstrate best practices of the LENSTAR and identify ways to obtain quality measurements on difficult patients.

2. Discuss the appropriate validation criteria to use in evaluating obtained measurements.

40, 52. IOL Master: Best Practices and an Introduction to Swept Source Biometry | Connie McKeehen, CCOA – Carl Zeiss Meditec

This course will review basic swept source biometry technology. It will include review of operator technique, how to ensure reliable measurements and how to troubleshoot common obstacles. An IOLMaster 700 instrument will be available for hands-on practice. IOL power calculation and formula capabilities will also be discussed.objectives:

1. Discuss clinical applications of swept source biometry.2. Acquire measurements with the new IOLMaster 700.3. Understand how to calculate IOL power on the

IOLMaster 700.

41. Soft Contact Lens Fitting | Ginny MercerThis hands-on workshop will be an introduction to soft contact lens fitting basics. A review of K readings, contact lens calculations, slit lamp evaluation, vertex conversion and initial base curve selection will be demonstrated. Patient needs and expectations regarding contact lenses will also be discussed. Participants will be encouraged to participate in the contact lens fitting process by fitting contacts on each other.objectives:

1. Explain how to perform a basic soft contact lens fitting.2. Define patient needs and expectations for contact lens wear.

42, 51. Manual Lensometry | Stephen Carow, COMT, OCSThis hands-on session will provide practical instruction and experience in the use of the manual lensometer. Tips will be given to help the technician as well as step-by-step tools in the skill process.objectives:

1. Define the uses of manual lensometry.2. Explain the techniques used to perform manual lensometry.

43. Retinoscopy: Theory and Technique | Nathan Jordan, MDThis course will provide an overview of the ins and outs of the retinoscope, including proper technique and its value and application in the clinic. The theory of retinoscopy includes the working distance, location of the far point, and the movement of the far point when changing lenses. The various phenomenon in locating the correct cylinder axis will also be presented.objectives:Understand the theory behind retinoscopy.

1. Explain the techniques used to perform retinoscopy.

44. Fundus Imaging and Fluorescein/ICG Angiography | Amanda Bye – Heidelberg Engineering

This 30 minute lecture/30 minute hands-on course is for technicians and photographers of all levels who are interested in learning or improving their skill set on auto-fluorescent fundus imaging, multi-color fundus imaging, and fluorescein & ICG angiography. This course will also cover the use of the wide-field (55 degree) and ultra-wide-field (102 degree) lenses.objectives:

1. Describe the techniques involved with fluorescent fundus imaging, multi-color fundus imaging and ICG angiography.

2. Understand the proper use of wide-field and ultra-wide field lenses.

50. Intermediate/Advanced Ocular Motility | Claire Callaghan, CO, COMT

This interactive workshop will review and discuss the assessment methods for intermediate to advanced evaluation of ocular motility and binocularity.objectives:

1. Understand and test strabismus.2. Identify the different types of strabismus.

53. Clinical Applications of the OCULUS Pentacam: Refractive Surgery and General Screening | Chris Flaherty – Oculus

This course will cover the basic principles of Scheimpflug imaging technology, best practices for operation of the Pentacam system, and applications for general screening and refractive surgery. The class will include both a lecture and hands-on instruction.objectives:

1. Describe the techniques to acquire and evaluate quality of anterior segment tomography data.

2. Understand the measurements and maps produced by the Pentacam related to general screening and refractive surgery.
