Mission Statement
The 2024 Retina Subspecialty Day aims to provide a comprehensive and focused medical and surgical retina update for the retina specialist, interested ophthalmologist, and ophthalmologist-in-training. The meeting focuses on up-to-date, clinically, and scientifically relevant retina topics presented by an international group of respected, expert retina specialists. The major educational goal is to highlight new medical and surgical clinical advances and research outcomes and present them in ways that are useful for patient care. The meeting achieves this objective by engaging meeting participants in didactic presentations, case presentations, videos, debates, exhibits, panel discussions, and audience response polling.
Target Audience
The intended target audience for this program is retinal specialists, members in training, and general ophthalmologists who are engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of vitreoretinal diseases.
