Katherine Talcott, MD, discusses phase 2 VERONA results showing EYP-1901 plus aflibercept reduced supplemental treatment needs in DME, with early vision and anatomy gains and no significant safety signals.

At EURETINA 2026, Arshad Khanani, MD, FASRS, reviews 2-year SPECTRA data on 4D-150 gene therapy for DMO and the phase 3 4SIGHT trial comparing it with aflibercept.

Francesca Cordeiro, PhD, MD, FRCOphth, explains how Detection of Apoptosing Retinal Cells (DARC) imaging predicted the speed and direction of GA growth and could help stratify patients for treatment.

Cathleen McCabe, MD, presents real-world data from a 57-site US study of the enVista Aspire IOL at ESCRS 2026, reporting over 90% patient satisfaction and 20/32 uncorrected intermediate vision in more than 70% of patients.

Three residents were honored for their leadership, education and research, and patient care contributions in ophthalmology, optometry, and retina.

At ESCRS 2026, Jascha Wendelstein, MD, noted standard ETDRS visual acuity testing misses functional differences between multifocal IOLs that reading-speed testing reveals.

Samantha Harding, B.Sc(Hons), MB BS, FRCOphth, discusses how ultra-widefield imaging reduces dilation needs and improves diagnosis in paediatric eye care.

At WSPOS Subspecialty Day during the 44th Congress of the ESCRS in London, Mark Bullimore, PhD, MCOptom, shared early trial data suggesting the Stellest 2.0 lens may slow myopic progression twice as fast as the original.

Hove stresses surgeons who prescribe premium lenses or laser surgery to patients should be willing to have those same treatments themselves when needed.

Ana Miguel, MD, PhD, explains how artificial intelligence already outperforms experts in glaucoma screening, expands telemedicine access, and reshapes patient conversations.

Giuseppe Giannaccare, MD, PhD, FEBOphth, discusses new data on perioperative low-level light therapy for post-cataract dry eye at ESCRS 2026.

The approach yielded reproducible numeric indices that correlated with both expert LOCS III scores and measurable loss of retinal image quality.

Adam Muzychuk, MD, discusses how AI like the Kane formula is improving outcomes, and why he still urges caution over relying on it for clinical decisions.
