The Retina Society 49th Annual Meeting

The Retina Society 49th Annual Meeting is organized by The Retina Society and would be held during Sep 14 - 17, 2016 at US Grant Hotel, San Diego, California, United States Of America. The target audience for this medical event basically for Vitreoretinal ophthalmologists who are members and guests of members of the Retina Society as well as fellows-in-training.

This annual meeting is intended to increase the physician’s knowledge, skills and performance to provide services for patients. Topics for discussion will include but are not limited to agerelated macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, tumors, infections, surgery for retinal detachment and macular disease, pediatrics, imaging. At the Interesting Retinal Cases Session and Video Conference, physicians will be able to participate in discussion and reach a conclusion on treatment of various interesting vitreoretinal cases presented by participants. The attendee’s basic knowledge and treatment skills will be enhanced by the information presented and subsequent discussions.

Objectives :
This conference is designed to address the needs and interests of vitreoretinal surgeons. Upon completion of this conference, attendees can expect to achieve the following overall objectives :
• Apply evidence-based data from randomized, clinical trials to help form treatment plans for patients with medical retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. Utilize data from smaller trials and case series to help individualize such treatments for patients with different responses to therapy, such as persistent fluid, elevated intraocular pressure, or inflammation.
• Apply advanced imaging technologies such as OCT-angiography and Ultra-widefield angiography to recognize pathology not previously detected or understood. This includes far peripheral pathology, subtle choroidal neovasculariztion, and appreciation of retinal vascular abnormalities not noted with conventional imaging modalities.
• Incorporate new surgical tools, techniques, and intraoperative imaging modalities to improve patient outcomes and minimize complications.
