“Ocular Manifestations of GLP 1/GLP 1+GIP Drugs” 1hr. COPE # 101960-PH
GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely prescribed for the management of Type 2 diabetes and obesity. Numerous reports have cited ocular side effects associated with their usage. The most frequently reported complications include non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, links to macular complications, changes in intraocular pressure, refractive shifts and dry eye. Overall, while GLP-1RAs provide significant systemic benefits, careful ophthalmic monitoring, particularly in high-risk patients is recommended. This course will review the pathophysiology of GLP-1 RAs and investigate the link between these medications and ocular side effects. Case examples will be highlighted.

This course provides an overview of macular disorders with a focus on multimodal imaging. Emphasis will be placed on differential diagnosis of disease including the role of OCT and FAF in disease monitoring, and treatment planning. By integrating structural and functional imaging, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how OCT and FAF contribute to differentiating macular pathologies, assessing progression, and guiding patient care. Topics will include macular telangiectasia, vitelliform dystrophy, acute macular neuroretinopathy, and central serous chorioretinopathy.
