Activity Overview
Prominent eye care meetings, such as the AAO Annual Meeting, the EURETINA Congress, and the Retina Society Annual Scientific Meeting, are premier opportunities to learn about emerging data that has the potential to change the management of neovascular retinal disease. However, clinicians cannot attend all major conferences or retain all the highlights from meetings they do attend. This Rapid Reviews in Retina program provides concise discussions of recent data on advances in the management of nAMD and DME, as well as faculty discussions regarding how these data may shape patient care.
Target Audience
This educational activity is directed towards retina specialists and other ophthalmologists.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, you should be better prepared to:- Summarize emerging evidence regarding the management of retinal diseases as presented at major medical conferences in 2023
- Identify appropriate patient populations who may benefit from evidence-based therapies used in the management of nAMD based on clinical presentation and goals of treatment
- Identify appropriate patient populations who may benefit from evidence-based therapies used in the management of DME based on clinical presentation and goals of treatment
