E. Glaucoma<br />
COGNITIVE:<br />
• The resident should be familiar with the evaluation of a glaucoma patient<br />
in terms of screening for risk factors, initial and long-term work-up, and<br />
available therapeutic interventions—both medical and surgical.<br />
• The resident should be familiar with the various sub-types of glaucoma<br />
and glaucoma suspects including ocular hypertension, normal tension<br />
glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma and chronic and acute angle<br />
closure, and the secondary glaucomas (ex. pigmentary, pseudoexfoliation,<br />
traumatic, steroid induced.<br />
• The concept of acute angle closure as an ocular emergency, as well as<br />
appropriate work-up and management should be familiar.<br />
• The resident should be well-versed in current glaucoma literature and<br />
research.<br />
ASSESSMENT—The attending physician will periodically quiz the resident<br />
during clinical rounds to determine the knowledge base and will intervene<br />
as needed. Resident performance on OKAP testing and mock orals will<br />
also be monitored.<br />
TECHNICAL SKILLS:<br />
• The resident should be familiar with and able to perform and interpret the<br />
various clinical skills necessary for the work-up of glaucoma patients.<br />
These include: tonometry, gonioscopy, slit-lalmp evaluation, direct and<br />
indirect ophthalmoscopy, pachymetry, visual field testing and optic nerve<br />
imaging.<br />
ASSESSMENT—The resident will perform and interpret the above skills on<br />
clinical patients under the direct supervision of the attending physician<br />
during clinical rounds. The interpretation and clinical relevance will be<br />
discussed.<br />
SURGICAL SKILLS:<br />
