Life-Threatening Eye Signs & Symptoms That Can't Be Missed!

When Flashes of Light Are Something Other Than Vitreoretinal Phenomena

Many signs and symptoms of life-threatening conditions, such as corneal fascinations for metabolic, inflammatory, or even infectious etiologies, regularly present behind the slit lamp. But other life-threatening eye symptoms and signs may present as something seemingly benign, like flashing lights. How can you tell when a patient's symptoms of photopsia are something completely unrelated to vitreoretinal phenomena?

Join us for our next Wednesday Webinar: Life-Threatening Eye Signs & Symptoms That Can't Be Missed! as Dr. Joseph Shovlin examines the differences in presentation and cite several case examples of photopsia not related to vitreoretinal conditions.
