Managing Corneal Diseases: From Diagnosis to Cross-Linking

May 12, 2026 at 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM ET
Speaker: William Trattler, MD

Course Description: This course reviews the diagnosis and management of corneal diseases with a focus on keratoconus and corneal ectasia. Emphasis is placed on early detection, interpretation of corneal imaging, and clinical decision-making regarding timing of intervention. Emerging concepts in corneal cross-linking, including epithelial-on techniques and oxygen-enhanced protocols, are discussed. Attendees will gain practical strategies to optimize patient outcomes and reduce the risk of disease progression.

Metabolic Drivers of Ocular Damage Insulin Resistance, GLP-1, Muscle Health, and Antioxidants in Disease and Prevention 

June 2, 2026 at 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM ET
Speaker: Greg Caldwell, OD

Course Description: This course explores how insulin resistance, GLP-1 physiology, muscle health, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction drive ocular damage and accelerate disease progression. Attendees will learn how systemic metabolic dysfunction impacts the retina, optic nerve, cornea, and vasculature, and how preventive strategies—including metabolic screening, carotenoid assessment, muscle preservation, and nutritional optimization—can be integrated into optometric care.

C.O.R.N.E.A.  &  N.E.R.V.E.:  Two Novel Mnemonics to Preserve Vision in Two Parallel Diseases 

June 9, 2026 at 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM ET
Speaker: Austin Lifferth, OD

Course Description: This informal, interactive, and informative course dives into the intricate relationship between glaucoma and dry eye disease (DED), two prevalent and often coexisting ocular conditions. Through the innovative N.E.R.V.E.S. and C.O.R.N.E.A. mnemonics, participants will gain practical tools to enhance their diagnostic and treatment strategies. The course combines evidence-based medicine, clinical pearls, and case discussions to provide a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology, risk factors, and management approaches for these chronic, underdiagnosed conditions.
