The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2023 annual meeting is returning home to San Francisco on Friday November 3 through Monday November 6.

Ayush Parikh, MD, and colleagues conducted a retrospective review of and found that spontaneous closure and surgical treatment yielded comparable rates of closure and visual outcomes.

The latest innovations are in focus at the 127th annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, being held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Launched in 2014, Intelligent Research in Sight is the nation's first and largest comprehensive eye disease registry.

Researchers are addressing growing concern over vision loss in people taking semaglutideat the American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meeting in San Francisco.

The collaboration, fueled by a $5 million donation from Knights Templar Eye Foundation (KTEF), will introduce a free and open VR simulation program for ophthalmologists and trainees worldwide.

Researchers found that spontaneous macular hole closure and surgical treatment seem to be associated with comparable rates of closure and visual outcomes.

The purpose of this investigation was 2-fold: to estimate the costs of treating GA with pegcetacoplan and to identify possible utility measures to compare treatments for GA.

Investigators have proposed a new algorithm, TWO-ROP, which they describe as “a new and simple screening protocol with a two-tiered impatient and outpatient approach.”

The highlights from this year’s meeting, brought to you in conjunction with Modern Retina

Identifying and surmounting gender barriers in ophthalmology.

Researchers conducted a study on 145 patients with night vision problems, testing the effects of 0.75% phentolamine ophthalmic solution

Researchers conducted a study on 145 patients with night vision problems, testing the effects of 0.75% phentolamine ophthalmic solution. The trial demonstrated substantial improvement in visual acuity on both evaluation days.

Data from the study, presented at the 2023 American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting in San Francisco, support the implantation of the LAL in eyes that had undergone a previous RK

OCT and OCTA imaging were especially valuable in this patient population because the images extended the current definition of sickle cell retinopathy.

Light-adjustable lens in patients with previous RK: Improved visual and refractive outcomes after cataract surgery.

Several companies including Kiora Pharmaceuticals, Adverum Biotechnologies and Aviceda Therapeutics, will share data at the 2023 meeting in San Francisco, California

Several companies including, Kiora Pharmaceuticals, Adverum Biotechnologies, and Aviceda Therapeutics, will share data at the meeting. Our team from Ophthalmology Times will also be in attendance.

According to the company, AVD-104 is an engineered glycan (sialic acid) nanoparticle designed to target the self-pattern recognition receptors on overly activated retinal immune cells, specifically macrophages and microglia.

Thomas V. Johnson, MD, PhD, notes the value of home monitoring lies in its ability to provide real-time insights into IOP fluctuations, enabling more precise glaucoma care and a deeper understanding of the patient's risk for vision loss.

In the data shared, switching to SB15 from AFL maintained comparable clinical efficacy and safety in treating patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), confirming biosimilarity between these agents before and after switching.

Phase 2/3 SIGLEC trial are underway. Data shared at EURETINA 2023 shows continued safety with no drug-related adverse events thus far in cohorts 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Academy’s program will take place in San Francisco, California, 3-6 November 2023, before returning to Chicago, Illinois in 2024

Nathan Steinle, MD, spoke with Modern Retina's editor to give insights into his Retina Society presentation titled, "Phase 3 studies of dual inhibition of VEGF C/D and VEGF A using OPT-302 in combination With ranibizumab (ShORe Trial) or aflibercept (COAST Trial) in neovascular AMD."

At the 56th annual Retina Society congress in New York, David Boyer, MD, gave a presentation titled, "Subgroup analyses of phase 1 DAVIO Trial of EYP-1901 demonstrating reduced treatment burden in wet age-related macular degeneration."
