Topic: OCULAR FIBROSIS IN WOUND HEALING: A DEEPER DIVE INTO WHERE, HOW AND WHY

Lecturer: Carlos Woc, O.D.

COPE Course ID: 85049-SD

Activity ID: #126724

Description: Ocular fibrosis commonly occurs as a result of aberrations in one of the most complex biological processes, wound healing. The course will review and elaborate the pathophysiology of fibrosis in several areas of the eye. Case examples of advanced retinal fibrosis will be discussed to further illustrate the effects of fibrosis. This lecture will further explore one of the common features driving fibrotic eye disease, the trans differentiation of myofibroblasts which occurs through the epithelial mesenchymal transition process and activated by pro-fibrinogenic cytokines such as Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-B). Lastly, a broad review of both existing management and potential future treatments of ocular fibrosis will be discussed.

WEBINAR RECORDINGS

IMPORTANT NOTE: Optometrists must complete at least three-quarters of their continuing education hours through "live courses" (please see questions 17 and 18 on the NYSED Office of the Professions' Continuing Education FAQ for additional details.). The balance of the remaining hours may be completed through the appropriate self-study courses.

In response to COVID-19, and for those licensees whose registrations are due to renew March 1, 2020 – January 1, 2022, the Department will grant an adjustment to all licensees to complete up to 100% of the continuing education as self-study, provided that it is taken from a Department-approved provider and is in an acceptable subject area for the specific profession. The NYSOA is an approved CE provider.

Additionally, the Department will grant an adjustment to all licensees, regardless of registration renewal date, to utilize self-study for any coursework taken during the period from March 1, 2020 – January 1, 2022, provided that it is taken from a Department-approved provider and is in an acceptable subject area for the specific profession. Coursework taken outside that timeframe must meet the continuing education requirements in each individual profession’s laws and regulations.
