Metabolic Drivers of Ocular Damage Insulin Resistance, GLP-1 Pathways, Muscle Health, and Antioxidants in Disease and Prevent

Course overview

This course explores metabolic syndrome and hyperinsulinemia as primary drivers of metabolic dysfunction and their role in contributing to ocular and systemic disease. Emphasis is placed on insulin resistance, metabolic pathway disruption, and the role of muscle and mitochondrial health. The course also highlights behavior modification strategies and GLP1-based therapies as tools for metabolic intervention, with oxidative stress and antioxidant status presented as contributing factors. Attendees will gain practical insight into identifying metabolic risk and incorporating objective assessment into patient care.
