Description
Overview of the Ophthalmic Workshop at Lions SightFirst Eye Hospital
Optimum management of ocular disease has large impact in prevention of loss of vision in patients suffering from eye problems. Appropriate management of these patients reduces the burden of the ocular health problems.
The knowledge of drug utilization pattern needs to be understood to increase therapeutic efficacy, decrease adverse effects and also to assess whether drug therapy is rational or not.
It is in this regard that we invite the hospital pharmacists into our hospital workshop to experience specialty practice in Ophthalmology i.e. with the ophthalmologists, the pharmacists and the hospital at large.
The workshop will also create a platform for exchange of knowledge and ideas in pharmaceutical practice in relation to Ophthalmology. This will be achieved through one on one interaction with our ophthalmologists who are experts in this field.
The workshop will also create a platform to address pharmacology issues in Ophthalmology i.e. polypharmacy, pharmacodynamics and rational prescribing.
The workshop will also be a platform for networking because of the various pharmaceutical stakeholders who will attend the workshop.
