Oakstone Comprehensive Review of Ophthalmology 2026

This ophthalmology review brings together medical and surgical perspectives on common eye disorders and more complex subspecialty problems. Its eight sections cover corneal and external disease, glaucoma, uveitis, retinal disease, oculoplastics, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology, and cataract and refractive surgery. Lectures address diagnostic workup, treatment selection, surgical techniques, and complications, with sessions on topics such as keratoconus, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, macular degeneration, thyroid eye disease, and pediatric strabismus. Directed by César A. Briceño, MD, the program is suited to ophthalmologists, residents, and fellows seeking a broad clinical refresher or structured board review. The complete lecture list and named faculty are retained below.
