ABSTRACT
Purpose/Relevance New technologies are rapidly emerging in all fields, especially in the COVID-19 era, including pediatric ophthalmology. These technologies are widely disseminated in diverse areas such as screening, diagnostics, treatment, device production, genetics, and artificial intelligence. Some provide low-cost, simple solutions to common problems, whereas others, are expensive and complex. The speakers will present several technologies, including retinal polarizing scanning for screening of amblyopia and traumatic brain injury, smart phone photo screening for amblyopia risk factors, artificial intelligence, optical coherence tomography angiography, handheld OCT, gene therapy, and eye tracking technology for diagnostics and treatment of amblyopia. Target Audience Pediatric and comprehensive ophthalmologists, orthoptists, residents, and students. Current Practice Technologies are rapidly evolving, making it difficult to stay updated and exposed to all the innovations. Some clinicians are eager to explore new concepts, some may have limited exposure, whereas others may refrain from utilizing up-and-coming new technologies. Best Practice Understanding the limitations and benefits of new technologies and bringing basic scientific knowledge and better solutions to existing clinical challenges in order to fulfill unmet diagnostic and therapeutical needs. The presenters will summarize seven technologies, which will focus on providing affordable screening as well as high-volume and high-quality eye care and innovative technologies. Expected

Outcomes:

The audience will be exposed to an in-depth analysis of new technological modalities in screening, informatics, diagnostics, and treatment options in pediatric ophthalmology. Format The workshop will include an overview of different clinically available technologies pertaining to pediatric ophthalmology. Each speaker, either an innovator or at the center of development or dissemination of these technologies, will provide a didactic lecture that will be followed by questions from the panel and audience, along with a discussion on the technologies' effectiveness and clinical relevance.

Summary:

In a rapidly changing world of technologies,and healthcare, this workshop will provide an overview of several existing innovations in pediatric ophthalmology.
