Latest Conference Articles

Carl D. Regillo, MD, FACS, reviews long-term efficacy and safety findings from the Port Delivery System clinical trial program.

Michael Singer, MD, discusses the role of steroids, biomarkers, and second-generation therapies in diabetic macular edema management.

Aixa Alarcon, PhD, and colleagues reported natural image analysis may better predict real-world visual performance of premium intraocular lenses than traditional single-frequency MTF testing, while also capturing the impact of dysphotopsias and residual astigmatism.

In this interview from the 2026 Retina World Congress, Katherine Talcott, MD underscores that retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) should prompt retina specialists to look beyond the eye and ensure patients are connected to primary care and cardiology. She highlights the importance of systemic risk factor management and interdisciplinary coordination as essential components of comprehensive RVO care.

Multimodal imaging, OCT biomarkers, and the case for early diagnosis as treatment options emerge for macular telangiectasia.

Ashkan Abbey, MD, reviews findings from the DAVIO2 and VERONA clinical trials for the bioerodible intravitreal insert.

Ultra-widefield pediatric retinal scans plus adaptable AI reveal hidden eye issues during routine visits, enabling comfortable, scalable screening and earlier specialist referrals.

Siegfried G. Priglinger, MD, FEBO, weighs in on the emerging rationale for gas-free, position-free macular hole surgery using an ILM flap.

Patricio G. Schlottmann, MD, examines why injection frequency drives treatment failure in wet AMD and the particular challenges facing patients in Latin America.

Victor M. Villegas, MD, discusses supraorbital vibration as an adjunct to topical anesthesia in a high-volume retina practice.

Posture, operating room setup, and small workflow adjustments can reduce cumulative neck and back strain over time.

Jay Chhablani, MD, on multimodal imaging, OCT biomarkers, and the importance of early diagnosis as treatment options emerge

Two leading retinal specialists break down MCO-010's 3-year efficacy and safety data, the significance of contralateral eye findings, and how this gene-agnostic optogenetic approach could fill a critical gap for patients with advanced inherited retinal degeneration who have limited treatment options.

Jay Chhablani, MD, a retina specialist from UPMC Vision Institute and director of the Choroidal Analysis and Research Lab at the University of Pittsburgh, discussed recent advancements in choroidal imaging.

Matias Iglicki, MD, PhD, discusses why internal limiting membrane peeling deserves greater consideration in carefully selected patients with DME.

Uveitis expert Nisha Acharya, recipient of ARVO’s Mildred Weisenfeld Award, discusses how clinical trials and big data are reshaping treatment, vaccination, and vision outcomes.

Charlie Zhang, MD, reflects on the rising incidence, diagnostic challenges, and multidisciplinary management of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated uveitis.

Avacincaptad pegol may help preserve driving-related vision in geographic atrophy, but post hoc data did not reach statistical significance.

Paul Nderitu discusses Global RETFound, a diverse, worldwide retinal AI model that outperforms existing tools and sets a new standard for equitable, open-access medical AI.

NYU researchers discuss using CellChek C widefield specular microscopy to visualize and quantify corneal nerves in dry eye disease, revealing reduced nerve fiber length and inferior whorl changes and offering a practical alternative to in vivo confocal imaging.

At ARVO Michael Siatkowski, MD, and Jody Summers, PhD, stopped to discuss the rising rates of myopia in children and if anti-inflammatory drugs could play a role in slowing progression.

Single-shot optogenetic injection restores light sensitivity in advanced retinitis pigmentosa, delivering sustained vision gains for years with strong safety, expanding hope beyond gene-specific therapy.

At ARVO 2026, Michael Ip, MD, presented findings from a large-scale analysis of OCT biomarkers in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), leveraging the robust DRCR Retina Network Protocol T dataset.

Aaron Lee, MD, and Cecilia Lee, MD, co-recipients of this year's Cogan Award at ARVO, reflect on what the award lecture means to them and their careers.

Dimitra Skondra, MD, PhD, discussed her talk on how the diet and gut microbiome can affect the development of age-related macular degeneration.

Oral QA102 shows imaging signals slowing drusen and GA progression in intermediate dry AMD at ARVO 2026, despite missing its primary end point.

Data presented at ARVO 2026 show that high-dose gene therapy boosts central retinal sensitivity in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa, with the phase 3 VISTA study fully enrolled.

AI-assisted screening in glaucoma clinics flags patient distress early, improving adherence and outcomes without adding staff burden.
