THOROFARE, N.J. — SLACK Incorporated is introducing a first-of-its-kind monthly retina news section within its ophthalmic newspaper, Ocular Surgery News.
"This is an era of revolutionary change in retina . There's truly never been a more exciting time to be a retina specialist," Carmen A. Puliafito, MD, MBA, OSN Retina/Vitreous Section Editor and Course Director of Retina 2012, said. "And with all these changes, we need regular, reliable news updates in retina. There is no publication better to serve this need for retina specialists and other ophthalmologists than Ocular Surgery News."
"Ocular Surgery News has always covered retinal news, but never like this. The new retina section will be augmented and enhanced with more and deeper content for the specialty. It will truly be a destination section for retina specialists each month," Joan-Marie Stiglich, ELS, senior vice president of SLACK Incorporated, said.

OSN is known for its comprehensive coverage of each of the 13 specialty areas in ophthalmology, including retina. OSN is expanding its commitment to the nearly 2,200 retina physicians in the United States, who need a news vehicle dedicated to their specialty.
