Andrew G. Lee, MD, and Drew Carey, MD, return for this latest episode of the NeuroOp Guru to discuss whether a dead nerve can swell, focusing on the condition of papilledema caused by elevated intracranial pressure.

Panelists discuss how the aflibercept 8 mg higher molecular concentration enables extended durability through increased VEGF binding capacity and longer intraocular drug levels, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing while maintaining efficacy.

Panelists discuss how successful implementation of the port delivery system requires careful attention to surgical technique during both initial implantation and subsequent refill procedures, with specialized training and protocols that differ significantly from standard intravitreal injections in terms of procedural steps, sterility requirements, and patient preparation.

Panelists discuss how the port delivery system (PDS) with ranibizumab represents a paradigm shift in neovascular AMD treatment by utilizing a surgically implanted refillable device that provides continuous medication delivery for 6 months, offering patients a preferred alternative to frequent intravitreal injections while ensuring consistent therapeutic levels.

Panelists discuss how successful implementation of the port delivery system requires careful attention to surgical technique during both initial implantation and subsequent refill procedures, with specialized training and protocols that differ significantly from standard intravitreal injections in terms of procedural steps, sterility requirements, and patient preparation.

Panelists discuss how patients experiencing a high treatment burden with frequent anti-VEGF injections every 4-8 weeks are optimal candidates for the port delivery system, which can help reduce their number of clinic visits while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.

Panelists discuss how the port delivery system (PDS) with ranibizumab represents a paradigm shift in neovascular AMD treatment by utilizing a surgically implanted refillable device that provides continuous medication delivery for 6 months, offering patients a preferred alternative to frequent intravitreal injections while ensuring consistent therapeutic levels.

Panelists discuss how surgeons must complete specialized training and certification through the risk evaluation and mitigation strategy program to perform port delivery system implantation, which requires a sterile operating room environment and specific surgical instruments designed for the procedure.

Dr. Frenkel highlights a comprehensive program that covers the latest breakthroughs in glaucoma and cataract surgery to in-depth discussions on AI, retinal treatments, and new drug-delivery platforms, all set against the backdrop of Snowmass, Colorado.

Panelists discuss how aflibercept 8 mg demonstrates improved durability and maintenance of visual gains compared with 2-mg dosing, potentially reducing treatment burden while maintaining a similar safety profile.

Himani Goyal, MD, discusses a complex glaucoma case involving persistent intraocular pressure elevation despite multiple treatment procedures, focusing on advanced management strategies and decision-making for challenging cases.

Himani Goyal, MD, explores a case of glaucoma treated with an intracameral implant, evaluating its efficacy in managing intraocular pressure and its role in optimizing long-term glaucoma care.

Himani Goyal, MD, discusses a case of cataracts and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) combination, highlighting the benefits of this approach in managing both cataracts and glaucoma in a single procedure for improved patient outcomes.

Wendy Lee, MD, an oculoplastics specialist and member of the program committee at EnVision Summit, shares an agenda that will include a mix of functional oculoplastics, aesthetics, and live facial rejuvenation demonstrations at the upcoming event, which will be held from February 14 to 17, 2025, at the Caribe Hilton San Juan in Puerto Rico.

Panelists discuss how successful port delivery system (PDS) implantation requires careful patient selection and meticulous surgical technique to minimize complications like vitreous hemorrhage and endophthalmitis, with certain patients being poor candidates due to factors such as active inflammation, thin sclera, or glaucoma filtering devices.

Himani Goyal, MD, assesses the benefits of proactive glaucoma management through interventional procedures beyond traditional treatments, focusing on treatment customization based on factors such as visual potential, glaucoma staging, IOP targets, comorbid conditions, and patient preferences.

Panelists discuss how treat-and-extend dosing with aflibercept 2 mg allows for individualized treatment intervals while maintaining vision gains. However, optimal extension timing must be carefully determined based on disease activity markers.

Lana Rifkin, MD, a uveitis specialist at Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston, shared insights into her work and her role as committee chair of the uveitis section for the upcoming EnVision Summit, which will be held from February 14 to 17, 2025, at the Caribe Hilton San Juan in Puerto Rico.

Panelists discuss how the port delivery system (PDS) is a permanent, refillable ocular implant that continuously releases ranibizumab into the vitreous, with the Archway trial demonstrating noninferior vision outcomes compared with monthly ranibizumab injections while reducing treatment burden through 6-month refill intervals.

Panelists discuss how the chronic nature of retinal diseases requires consistent VEGF suppression through regular anti-VEGF injections, but this treatment burden leads to challenges including patient compliance, health care resource strain, and quality of life impacts from frequent office visits.

According to Robert Latkany, MD, understanding the causes and recognizing these diagnostic features are essential for effective treatment.
