- Explain how to make the best match of treatment and patient to decrease patient burden while optimizing treatment outcomes.
- Review practice guidelines and options for adjustment in cases where treatment is intolerable or ineffective.
- Use the knowledge of recent pivotal clinical trial outcomes by comparing and differentiating three critical technologies to manage posterior segment noninfectious uveitis: Ozurdex, Yutiq, and the CLS-TA injection. Phase 3 clinical trial data will be reviewed to close the educational gap.
