The importance of imaging choroidal hemodynamics

Marco Lupidi, MD, PhD, of the Biomedical and Surgical Sciences Department of the University of Perugia, Italy, speaks about his studies on choroidal hemodynamics in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

Observing blood flow variations through multimodal imaging, and particularly OCTA, allows clinicians to better understand the course of the disease and the effects of treatment.

When to use anti-VEGF injections to treat diabetic retinopathy

Marco A. Zarbin, MD, PhD, of Rutger New Jersey Medical School, USA, speaks about the use anti-VEGF agents to treat diabetic retinopathy, explaining when we should intervene based on the evidence from trials.

Large meta analysis of anti-VEGF outcomes provides evidence on best regimen, injection frequency

Valentina Sarao, MD of the Istituto Europeo di Microchirurgia Oculare (IEMO), Udine, Italy, speaks about a large meta-analysis of the results obtained with all three anti-VEGF agents in neovascular AMD. Data on more than 100,000 eyes from randomized and observational studies were included. Best injection regimen and injection frequency were investigated.
