According to Dr Gregor S. Reiter, the results from the multicentre Phase 3 clinical trial demonstrated that fluid volumes in patients with nAMD can be precisely identified, localised and measured in real-time using artificial intelligence.

Automated quantitative fluid analyses are enabling personalised treatments, better patient outcomes.

A synopsis of the findings presented at EURETINA 2022 for ophthalmologists and retina specialists.

The white noise and classical music listened to by the preterm infants during ROP examinations showed positive effects on pain and heart rate and oxygen saturation values.

At the 1-month evaluation, the full-field stimulus threshold had median decrease of -33.2 decibels (dB) (-33.7; -19.8) dB, which remained stable until the last assessment. Visual fields and visual acuity did not change significantly.

Investigators advised that clinicians should be aware of this spectrum of retinal involvement after COVID-19 infections and emphasized the importance of a fundus evaluation.

The investigators explained that elevated angle-closure-related intraocular pressure may aggregate the visual impairment in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.

European investigators describe how they address complications associated with silicone oil endotamponade in vitreoretinal surgery.

The Phase 2 Altitude study is an open-label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation evaluation of RGX-314, evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of suprachoroidal delivery of RGX-314 in patients with moderately severe/severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or mild proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Patients with retinitis pigmentosa experience greater levels of stress and anxiety than individuals in the general population and that the level of stress can be measured easily and non-invasively in hair.

The stated core foundation of the Women in Retina program is that “the best innovations happen when diverse people with different perspectives collaborate.” The program will help ESRS harness these perspectives and challenge the way things are done and allow for them to be done better.

This year’s hybrid meeting will allow attendees to participate in person or virtually. Either way, this congress will offer a wealth of information to specialists covering all aspects of retinal diseases.

A post-conference guide for ophthalmologists after the conclusion of EURETINA 2021.

During a presentation at the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Congress, Prof. Ben Burton detailed how dry AMD patients treated with photobiomodulation therapy have seen improvements in best-corrected visual acuity 9 months after treatment.

Health systems are challenged to provide appropriate care for the ever-increasing number of patients with diabetes and its complications, such as diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema.

During a presentation at the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Congress, Dr Daniel Jones discussed GA and emphasized the need for additional study to gain a better understanding of the burden experienced by patients.

In a presentation at the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Congress, Dr Cristina Cristian noted that an injection of brolucizumab treatment in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration led to a median improvement in visual acuity (VA) of 10.5 letters and the drug was well-tolerated.

During a presentation at the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Congress, Dr Anat Loewenstein discussed how artificial intelligence can optimize optical coherence tomography.

During a presentation at the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Congress, Dr José-Alain Sahel explains that optogenetics involves the use of artificial photoreceptors from specific retinal cells to restore vision by transferring a gene that encodes for a light-sensitive protein that causes neuronal cells to respond to light stimulation.

Treating the disease can be a challenge, and at the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Congress, Dr Chekitaan Singh discussed a case study detailing the care of a patient who had already lost vision in one eye from a similar issue.

Speaking during the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Congress, Dr Marta Belmonte-Grau discussed the potential risk for posterior capsular rupture during cataract surgery.

The EURETINA 2021 Virtual Meeting is scheduled for September 9 to 12, 2021, and retina specialists are eager to see the showcase of cutting-edge scientific developments.

Programming includes 16 EURETINA sessions; 22 symposia; 44 instructional courses; 85 hours of content, and more than 300 speakers.
