Dear Colleagues,
As we all know, the field of retina is rapidly changing with new innovations in retinal diagnostics, pharmacotherapeutics, and surgery, as well as the discovery of novel insights into our understanding of retinal disease pathophysiology. These advances have provided an exciting array of new approaches for retinal disease management that have provided exciting opportunities and hope for ourselves and for our patients. At the same time, they have provided challenges, as we must navigate these various options and choose the best one for the patient in front of us.
The objective of this Retina Update meeting is to provide a comprehensive overview of these new directions at the state-of-the-art in our field, which should be of benefit to all of us as ophthalmologists caring for patients with retinal disease.
To achieve this goal, we are bringing together a group of renowned clinicians and scientists from around Italy and around the world to share their collective expertise with us. We will address the breadth of retinal diseases including age-related macular degeneration, retinal vascular diseases, inherited retinal degenerations, and vitreo-retinal surgical disorders. We will focus on new disease mechanisms, novel diagnostics, emerging therapeutics, and cutting-edge surgical techniques. We will also include time for discussion and engagement with the experts, as we all learn from one another.
We hope that you will join us in the fabulous city of Napoli for this meeting.
Sincerely,
SriniVas Sadda
