Gather-ed - State of Retina: An Update on the Management of Retinal Diseases

Time Commitment:

3 Hrs 30 min over 120 days

This small group educational experience is designed for retina specialists involved in the treatment and management of patients with retina disorders. Key goals of the group will be to help participants better identify the current treatment options available for the management of common retinal diseases (neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, retinal vein occlusion), and how to better identify the relationships between disease characteristics, drug, treatment frequency, visual and anatomic outcomes.

Additionally, best practices using individualized patient treatment plans to ensure optimal outcomes for patients, and how treatment paradigms have evolved over time and how they relate to current treatment options will be reviewed. Lastly, the growing importance of imaging for use in disease management will also be discussed.

Self Study

Baseline Self Assessment: State of Retina

This self-assessment provides you with the opportunity to test your current knowledge and skills related to DR and DME.
Fundamentals of DR/DME

Learn about the fundamental trials and treatments on DR and DME, plus two case presentation from experts in the field.
AMD Essentials and an RVO Review

Review anti-VEGF dosing paradigms investigated in large randomized trials for the treatment of NAMD with case examples.
The Relationship Between Fluid and BCVA

The latest data on the impact of intraretinal fluid and subretinal fluid in the retinal pigment epithelium on visual acuity.
Final Self-Assessment: State of Retina

Assess your improvements in knowledge and skills in DR and DME.

Live Group Discussions

Group Discussion 1

This Group Discussion will include a brief review of responses to the self-study modules, particularly areas of greatest challenge. Group members will then be encouraged to raise questions and discuss challenges they are facing with the group.
Group Discussion 2

This Group Discussion will focus on your responses and comments on the Group Task, particularly on areas in which there were divergent management approaches.

Group Challenge

Diabetic Macular Edema

Each of you will be assigned to respond to one or more questions related to the management of a DME case. All group members are encouraged to comment on the other submissions based on their own opinions and experience.
Age-related Macular Degeneration

Each of you will be assigned to respond to one or more questions related to the management of an AMD case. All group members are encouraged to comment on the other submissions based on their own opinions and experience.
