Title of Workshop:	Slit Lamp Flow
Key words:	slit lamp, flow, slit lamp techniques
Number of participants:	max. 10
Language:	English
Abstract: The Slitlamp biomicroscope is the most versatile tool used in the assessment of ocular health. The primary use of this instrument is the investigation of the adnexa and the anterior eye. Therefore, it is very important to know about different techniques for observation and an efficient, systematic way to perform these in your daily praxis, to detect abnormalities or changes in your patient’s eyes. Goals of this course: acquire different illumination techniques understand how to observe certain structures be able to find abnormalities in the anterior eye perform an efficient, systematic slit lamp flow

Title of Workshop:	Analysis of Color Vision with Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test
Key words:	Color visión, color vision defects, protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia
Number of participants:	15
Language:	English
Abstract: Before practical workshop the basic information about physiology and pathology of the color vision (CV) is explained. Basically color vision defects (CVD) are divided into two groups – inborn and acquired. Acquired vision defects can show other serious disease of visual system. This is the reason why color vision defects examination is so important in ophthalmology and optometry examination. After that the basic methods for color vision defects examination will be shown and explained. In our department we usually use Lanthony test (LT) for quick examination of color vision defects and Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue test (FM100). Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue test is a very exact method for determining the type of color vision defects. After theoretical part the participants can try to perform color vision defects examination or can be examined as patients.

Title of Workshop:	TOP TIPS for Testing Children’s Vision
Key words:	Paediatric vision, children
Number of participants:	50
Language:	English
Abstract: The aim of this workshop is to enable participants to improve their approach to the optometric examination of children. The workshop will describe effective approaches for assessing vision and visual function in children with the emphasis on the pre-school child. Topics will include assessment of visual acuity, static and cycloplegic refraction, sensory and motor alignment and key principles in management of common eye problems in young children. Participants will have the chance to review different tests used in assessing children’s vision and to ask questions.

Title of Workshop:	Nanotechnology in Progressive Lens Production
Key words:	Progressive lenses, nanotechnology, non-compromised vision
Number of participants:	30
Language:	English
Abstract: Since the invention of progressive lenses in 1959, by Mr. Bernard Maintenaz, the dream of every progressive lens producer has been to develop a progressive lens with no compromise. Current technology did not allow this dream to become true. But thanks to new breakthrough in technology, this compromise has now been broken and new era in progressive lenses has begun.

Title of Workshop:	Screening of Visual Functions
Key words:	screening, visual functions, optometric examination
Number of participants:	16
Language:	English
Abstract: Comprehensive optometric examination includes screening of visual functions. Ocular motility, horizontal and vertical sakkades, binocular function, pupil reaction and visual field are important aspects of vision. Easy-to-perform tests can reveal a number of crucial visual disorders. We will demonstrate the screening procedures that are simple, inexpensive and not time-consuming.

Title of Workshop:	Contact Lens Care
Key words:	Lens care products, contact lenses, microbiology
Number of participants:	100
Language:	English
Abstract: Lens care is an essential part of successful contact lens care which is often underestimated by patients but also practitioners. The workshop will focus on the requirements which lens care products need to fulfill, a closer look at the ingredients and the latest study results considering the influence of wetting agents regarding the tear film stability. Every participant needs to bring 3 used contact lens cases to the workshop for the experimental part of the session.

Title of Workshop:	Optic Nerve Head (ONH) Diagramming
Key words:	Optic nerve head, cup, c/d ratio, rim
Number of participants:	15
Language:	English
Abstract: Goals and Objectives: Optic nerve head evaluation should be an integral part of the examination on all patients and every fundus should be documented step by step. Physiological cup, neuroretinal rim and overall shape of the ONH are important. Also, the side by side comparison (mirror eye image) is an important step. To identify the disc/cup margin and disc shape variations is the basis to evaluate the cup to disc ratio (c/d – ratio). The goal of the course is to: improve/enhance observations skills review technique of optic nerve head evaluation review diagrammatic representation of optic nerve recognize optic nerve variation/changes and cup-to-disc evaluation build confidence and encourage continued and ongoing ophthalmoscopic evaluation of optic nerve in your practice
Target audience: Students of optometry
