Vail, Colorado At time of printing this brochure, these activities have not been accredited. Description This activity focuses on clinical use and medical issues important to the constantly evolving practice of ophthalmology, with a specific concentration on the most advanced medical and surgical treatment options within glaucoma, retina, anterior segment, and refractive surgery. Expert faculty will present the latest developments in the management of ocular conditions through a combination of didactic and highly interactive discussion sessions. Ample time will be reserved to pursue case studies with registrants. Workshop and didactic lecture time has also been devoted to the evolution of ophthalmology in the business practice setting. Financial benchmarking, coding and reimbursement, office management and budget analysis issues will be addressed amongst the group and on a one-to-one basis. Workshops Non-Invasive Facial Rejuvenation Workshop: Baltimore and Vail Wilmer Eye Institute physicians, Drs. Michael Grant and Shannath Merbs, will conduct patient treatment demonstrations, using botulinum toxin for both therapeutic and cosmetic uses. Coding and Reimbursement Seminar: Baltimore and Vail This seminar is comprised of lectures and a hands-on workshop highlighting recently updated changes in coding, documentation and reimbursement. This series of learning activities will include consultation and new technology coding. Experts will be available to meet with physicians in a one-on-one setting. Practice Management: Baltimore A socio-economic session in cooperation with The Maryland Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons will focus on legal and regulatory issues, residency training programs, the ?Pay-for-Performance? policy and several other areas of interest specifically tailored for the practicing ophthalmologist. Vail: James A. Rienzo, a Senior Business Advisor with the Eye Care Business Advisory Group of Allergan, Inc. and consultant for the BSM Consulting Group, provides advice to medical practices, physician networks, ambulatory surgery centers, teaching institutions, and health maintenance organizations throughout the US.

Mid-Mountain BBQ: Vail Participants and their guests are invited to a mid-mountain luncheon and clinical presentation. Refraction Workshop: Baltimore Purpose of this presentation is to discuss the refraction of the patient undergoing Wavefront Guided refractive surgery. OCT Workshop: Baltimore The availability of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) devices holds promise for the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. While the improved resolution SD-OCT may result in earlier detection of disease or its progression, there are as yet no sufficiently long-term studies of the role of SD-OCT in glaucoma. We have evaluated three SD-OCT machines in both research and clinical settings and will summarize our experience thus far. HRT Workshop: Baltimore and Vail There are now several instruments that produce high-resolution images of the optic nerve. The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) captures and compiles serial slices of the optic nerve, producing a final image that lets you measure the optic disc and the height of the vitreoretinal interface. This workshop will examine the role of optic disc imaging and other technological advances in the management of glaucoma. Corneal Modeling: Vail This workshop will describe different instruments and approaches to corneal modeling. Different applications of these modeling instruments will be discussed. Clinical approaches and diagnostic criteria will be presented in case format. General Information BALTIMORE Registration December 3, 2009 at 7:30 a.m. Location Thomas B.
