WAEH Webinar
Same-day bilateral cataract surgery – breaking down the barriers
The Netherlands is a leading country in providing same-day bilateral cataract surgery as a treatment for cataracts. In a large study (coordinated by the University Eye Clinic Maastricht) involving 865 patients in 10 hospitals in the Netherlands, it has been shown that same-day bilateral cataract surgery is safe, effective and cost-effective. This study has established a strong basis for the widespread adoption of ISBCS across the Netherlands and the rest of the world. This webinar will focus on the results of the study and the implementation hurdles in adopting ISBCS, such as logistical barriers and coordination with relevant stakeholders. Special attention is given to optimising logistics at the OR.
We have 3 great speakers during this webinar. Frank van den Biggelaar will give us an Introduction to same-day bilateral cataract surgery. Margaret Zhong will speak about the topic Towards an optimal implementation of same-day bilateral cataract surgery. Last but not least, Shanna Honings, who will speak on Optimizing Logistics in the OR.

Moorfields online course about Children’s Eyecare!
3 March 2021
Hosted by Moorfields Education
The course is available from 3 March 2021
Children’s Eyes: An Introduction
Healthcare providers/staff who mainly provide services for adults, and only occasionally see children, often do not feel confident to interact with children with eye/vision problems and their families. This course aims to introduce the learner to the basic concepts of paediatric ophthalmology, in order to give them confidence when approaching children.
The course aims to:
- support clinicians/clinic staff who wish to develop their skills and build their confidence when working with infants and children
- support clinicians’ awareness of vision screening programmes, normal/abnormal development of eyes and vision, developmental and acquired eye/vision conditions in children, and the holistic need of the child with sight problems and their family
- introduce clinicians to common eye conditions in children and to enable them to make appropriate referral decisions for infants and children

Infectious Scleritis: Difficulties in Diagnosis and Management, with Dr. Somasheila Murthy
Sunday, January 31 2021: 09:30 UTC
Scleritis is a rare but grave inflammatory disorder. Although a majority of these cases are immune mediated, a smaller minority are due to infections of the sclera. The two conditions closely mimic each other, and knowledge of the differences aids in rapid diagnosis. If untreated these cases often have poor outcomes, both due to tissue destruction and also due to propagation of the infection with corticosteroids which may have been started for presumed immune mediated scleritis. In this webinar, we present the clinical features, etiological agents, and the differentiating features between immune and infectious scleritis. We also present diagnostic and management guidelines for managing scleral infection.
