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.
This small group educational experience is designed for retina specialists and eye care professionals involved in the medical management of patients with retina disorders.
