The EVICR.net Educational Programme is launched with the seventh module: Retinal Dystrophies which consist of seven webinars of 15 minutes each:
– Webinar #17 – Inherited Retinal Dystrophies: Overview, causative genes and diagnostic approach
– Webinar #18 – Retinitis Pigmentosa and Gene Therapy
– Webinar #19 – Differential Diagnostics of Juvenile and Childhood Genetic Diseases of the Retina
– Webinar #20 – Macular Dystrophies
– Webinar #21 – Functional Diagnostics of the Retina in IRDs
– Webinar #22 – Retinal Imaging in IRDs
– Webinar #23 – Genetic Diagnostics in IRDs
These webinars will be continuously available and you can see them at your convenience.
After attendance of the webinar you are free to fill in a short evaluation questionnaire if it is your will.
For better user experience we advise the use of Mozzila Firefox or Google Chrome. Internet Explorer is much slower when presenting the video.

- Webinar #17 - Inherited Retinal Dystrophies: Overview, causative genes and diagnostic approachAn overview is given about the groups of retinal dystrophies and their genetic causes, inheritance patterns etc. Recommendations for the consulting and diagnostics of these patients are given, including diagnostics equipment and patient organizations, as well as networks of health care professionals in rare retinal diseases.4
- Webinar #18 - Retinitis Pigmentosa and Gene TherapyThe webinar presents the typical phenotype of retinitis pigmentosa, syndromic and non-syndromic forms, its diagnostics and current gene therapy including post-approval experiences with RPE65 gene therapy.4
- Webinar #19 - Differential Diagnostics of Juvenile and Childhood Genetic Diseases of the RetinaThe webinar presents the most common genetic diseases of the retina presenting with first symptoms in childhood or teenage; typical phenotypes and disease courses, diagnostics and therapy approaches of: LCA/EORD, achromatopsia, XL-retinoschisis, juvenile macular degeneration (Stargardt), evtl. foveal aplasia/hypoplasia.4
- Webinar #20 - Macular DystrophiesThe webinar presents phenotypes and diagnostics including differential diagnostics of genetic macular dystrophies such as Stargardt disease, Stargardt-like macular dystrophy (pattern dystrophy), Bestretinopathies, autosomal dominant drusen.4
- Webinar #21 - Functional Diagnostics of the Retina in IRDsAn overview is given of functional diagnostics of retina for differential diagnostics of IRDs. Introduction and examples are given for BCVA, color and contrast vision, perimetry, microperimetry, dark adaptation and dark adapted perimetry, electroretinography, pupillometric methods.4
- Webinar #22 - Retinal Imaging in IRDsAn overview is given of retinal imaging for differential diagnostics of IRDs. Introduction and examples are given for retinal photography including red-free images, IR-imaging, autofluorescence imaging, OCT.4
- Webinar #23 - Genetic Diagnostics in IRDsThe webinar explains basics of genetic diagnostics, interpretation of mutations and variant classes and reporting of a genetic finding in genetic retinal diseases. The webinar should provide an insight into genetic testing and its interpretation for ophthalmologists.3
