Faricimab associated with greater reductions in pigment epithelial detachment. Better early drying of fluid associated with greater likelihood of extension to 16 weeks. Over 50% could have been extended to 20 weeks. Terrific talks at #RSLisbon2023 @RetinaSociety @TheIVIpodcast

Phase 2 subretinal gene therapy of ABBV-RGX-314 in previously treated wet AMD showed good tolerance with few cases of inflammation responsive to steroid drops + stable vision and edema with over 70% injection free over 6 mos. @allenho #RSLisbon2024 @RetinaSociety @Wills_Eye

Smaller ellipsoid zone lesion size, younger age, and lack of foveal involvement portended a greater reduction in disease progression with NT-501 (encapsulated cell technology) for macular telangiectasis type 2. Presented by Anthony Capone at #RSLisbon2024 @RetinaSociety

Terrific morning session on AI in #ophthalmology at #RSLisbon2024. The field is quickly evolving with better discrimination between diabetic retinopathy severity and use of readily available imaging to screen for vision threatening complications.

Lack of adoption of ocular imaging standards (DICOM) is bad for research & clinical care.
@NatEyeInstitute @US_FDA @ONC_HealthIT have developed a roadmap for interoperability together. We will consider this strongly in future research grants

Amazing opportunity for any #glaucoma specialist wanting to move the needle! And in such a livable city! @uiowaeye @uiowa @ICDowntown – at Iowa City, IA
The University of Iowa will have an open faculty position for a glaucoma surgeon in June 2024. There is a wide range of pathology to treat and Iowa City is a lovely LCOL town with fantastic cultural amenities. Please reach out to me if interested. #ophthojobs #glaucoma @uiowaeye

Retina specialists at #AAO23 subday (N=?) were asked real time through the app whether the newly @US_FDA approved #complement therapies #syfovre & #izervay are acceptable for dry #maculardegeneration
Surprising result: 83% said no!
#Retina Subspecialty Day @aao_ophth is the largest retina meeting in the world , with thousands of retina-trained #ophthalmologists attending.
