Sharing our latest work in BJO-->progressive inner retinal thinning in MacTel occurs at a similar rate as in diabetic retinal neurodegeneration, echoing our 2016 PNAS findings. >50% of MacTel subjects have #diabetes. Our research using #AI on the retina coming in the future!

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.

📣Attention Retina docs, your input is needed! @asrsdocs has proposed a Focused Practice Designation in Medical/Surgical Retina to the ABO.🚀 First time a subspecialty could receive such designation in #ophthalmology. Public comment open til 1/26/24. abms.org/cocert-invites… 🌐👁️

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 @AAOjournal: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Amazing opportunity for any #glaucoma specialist wanting to move the needle! And in such a livable city! @uiowaeye @uiowa @ICDowntown

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
