A patient with progressive cataract often loses precious time between complaints of decreased vision and referral to an ophthalmic surgeon. The course answers the key practical question — what the attending physician should do: how to recognize cataract, assess its stage, determine surgical indications, and refer the patient correctly.

You will confidently navigate modern approaches to diagnosis and treatment and refer the patient for surgical treatment in a timely manner, not missing the reversible window. This directly affects the quality of vision and the patient's trust in you as a physician.
