Certain ophthalmic subspecialties were more well suited for telemedicine use based on what tends to get covered in patient visits, said Darren Chen, MD student at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences.

Most of the adverse events that resulted from use of teprotumumab have been reversible, said Shoaib Ugradar, MD, UCLA Stein Eye Center Santa Monica.

Experts presenting at the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery 2021 Fall Scientific Symposium outlined racial/ethnic disparities in ocular complications.

Unlike other options in the past, teprotumumab actually addresses bulging eye and double vision associated with thyroid eye disease (TED), which patients primarily care about, explained Robert G. Fante, MD, FACS, president of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and facial plastic surgeon and cosmetic surgeon, Fante Eye & Face Centre in Denver, Colorado.

Whether or not a child’s vision is impacted by ptosis, there are usually alternatives to surgery, which is elective, said William Katowitz, MD, attending surgeon in the Division of Ophthalmology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Studies presented at the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery 2021 Fall Scientific Symposium explored the impact of lower dose rituximab on orbital lymphoma and factors associated with survival in conjunctival lymphoma.

At the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery's 2021 Fall Scientific Symposium, presentations on orbital complications included research on poorly positioned implants and factors associated with orbital compartment syndrome.

Study findings presented at the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery's 2021 Fall Scientific Symposium detail the benefits of teprotumumab for thyroid eye disease.

The American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery 2021 Fall Scientific Symposium will feature presentations on oculofacial surgery innovations, social justice and diversity, and more.

The American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) will be meeting in person in New Orleans to go over the latest scientific advances, said Robert G. Fante, MD, FACS, president of ASOPRS and facial plastic surgeon and cosmetic surgeon, Fante Eye & Face Centre in Denver, Colorado.

At the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) 2021 Fall Scientific Symposium, Shoaib Ugradar, MD, UCLA Stein Eye Center Santa Monica, will receive an award for his work on floppy eyelid syndrome and using collagen cross-linking to stiffen the eyelid and help patients.
