About

The Annual Retina Festival is an “all-star” line-up of more than 50 faculty members from around the world participating in a Continuing Medical Education event from the Wilmer Eye Institute of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Overview

What you will study

The Annual Retina Festival offered by Johns Hopkins University will provide the latest updates from clinical trials and other evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature that are relevant to the prevention and management of retinal diseases around the world. Topics include the latest, clinically relevant outcomes from clinical trials on age-related macular degeneration, vitreomacular interface abnormalities, hereditary retinal degenerations, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, and the latest in retinal surgery, including live retina surgery demonstrations. In addition to presentations from world experts, 4 panels of experts throughout the day will highlight discussions on applying clinical trial results to day-to-day clinical practice.
