Do you think that what you ‘see’ is a true representation of the visual world? It’s likely that the answer here is 'no' as we already know that we have an ‘invisible’ blind spot in each eye, but how far do you think this misrepresentation can go? This lecture will discuss how reliable the visual system really is, in terms of input and cortical processing, with a particular focus on the difference between 'vision' and 'conscious awareness' of sight. We will also consider the implications of individual differences in visual ability, how other factors can affect perception and discuss some clinically relevant examples, such as Charles-Bonnet Syndrome, blindsight, hemispatial neglect, and synaesthesia.

The last two years has tested us all beyond imagination, leaving many feeling emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and lacking in a sense of fulfilment. Through this wellbeing series, the AOP hopes to help you reconnect with what your life should be filled with and guided by - happiness.

This four-part webinar series has been designed as a journey, ensuring that you have time across the year to embed your learning and new habits in between; however, the webinars can also be attended as standalone sessions that you feel might support a specific need.

The session will present a variety of paediatric ophthalmological conditions and outline the signs and symptoms that should raise concern. Delegates will understand how to assess children and consider their symptoms in the context of the child, how to differentiate between common and red flag symptoms, and when and how to refer with appropriate urgency.
