New Developments in Retina Clinical Research
New Frontiers in Retina
Highlights of the 2020 angiogenesis, exudation and degeneration symposiumWe summarize the most important findings presented at the 2020 angiogenesis, exudation and degeneration symposium in five topic areas: (1) epidemiology of retinal vascular disease and macular degeneration; (2) dry AMD and geographic atrophy; (3) neovascular age-related macular degeneration; (4) drug delivery and devices and (5) diabetic retinopathy.
Looking Ahead in Retinal Disease Management
Highlights of the 2019 Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration SymposiumThe 15th annual Angiogenesis, Exudation and Degeneration Symposium sponsored by the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, Florida, was held on February 9th, 2019. This program is a leading international forum for the presentation of new therapies for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) which together account for more than 80% of cases of bilateral blindness in the industrialized world. Lengthening lifespans coupled with an increasing global prevalence of diabetes translates] into projections of increasing societal burdens related to these diseases over the next two decades and beyond. Widespread use of anti-VEGF pharmacotherapies has dramatically improved the prognosis for patients with the neovascular form of AMD (nAMD) and DR. Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents are now the most commonly performed ophthalmic procedure. We describe 5 key themes and highlight specific topics of interest to the vitreoretinal community within each of these themes.
