This specialized workshop, hosted by the Ophthalmic Pharmacy Group in collaboration with regional oculoplastic specialists, focuses on the pharmaceutical management of oculoplastic, lacrimal, and orbital conditions. For many pharmacy professionals, the nuances of post-surgical care in oculoplastics and the management of complex orbital inflammatory diseases can be daunting. This event aims to demystify these areas through focused educational sessions that cover everything from perioperative anticoagulation management to the use of immunosuppressants in thyroid eye disease.
The OPG Oculoplastic & Lacrimal Pharmacy Workshop is designed to be highly practical. It includes "hands-on" elements where delegates can examine the different types of lacrimal inserts, stents, and specialized dressings used in ocular surgery. Experts will lead discussions on the compounding of bespoke topical medications, such as preservative-free formulations and fortified antibiotics, which are often required for high-risk patients. The program also addresses the rising trend of aesthetic oculoplastics and the role of the pharmacist in ensuring the safety and efficacy of products used in these procedures.
A significant portion of the workshop is dedicated to the patient journey. From the initial consultation in a lacrimal clinic to the long-term follow-up of orbital surgery, the pharmacist's role in counseling patients on the correct administration of ocular medications is paramount. Attendees will learn how to troubleshoot common issues, such as poor compliance due to complex dosing schedules or side effects from systemic medications used for orbital conditions. By the end of the day, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the specialized pharmaceutical needs of oculoplastic patients and be better equipped to provide high-quality care within their respective practice settings.
