Optometry Today (OT), in partnership with VivaQuity and the AOP, are pleased to provide this 60-minute webinar.
The session will highlight the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for vitreous degeneration and the structural changes that occur during this process. Using novel data from recently published studies, the session will explore how specific nutrients of the vitreous, via their anti-oxidative and anti-glycation properties, can be considered for the management of vitreous degeneration, vitreous floaters and vitreous ocular disease.
There is one interactive CPD point approved for this webinar.
To be eligible for the CPD point you need to attend for the duration of the session.
You will not be eligible for the CPD point if you dial in to the audio only using a telephone.
