VB052001 Harold A. Stein, MD Lecture COVID-19 and Other Emerging Infectious Diseases: Ophthalmic Manifestations and Their Impact on the Delivery of Eye Care Description: Dr. Holland will present on the growing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (and COVID-19, the disease it causes) throughout the world, which has had a profound impact on all aspects of society, including delivery of healthcare. Of particular importance has been implementation of strategies to protect both patients and healthcare providers against virus transmission. Allied health personnel play a critical role in the ability to care for patients safely. This presentation will provide an update on topics related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that are important for healthcare workers including the latest epidemiologic information; current knowledge about modes of virus transmission; use of personal protective equipment; appropriate modifications to the workplace; and strategies to reduce risk of infection during clinical activities. The potential impact of the pandemic on the future of eye care will be considered. Dr. Holland will also address the infrequent ophthalmic manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as a general overview of vaccine development and treatments for COVID-19. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of previous epidemics and pandemics of importance to eye care providers, including those involving AIDS, Ebola and Zika, and how those outbreaks have informed our approach to the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
