Met with @ChuckGrassley and congressional legislative staff to advocate for our patients! #myf2025 #ophthalmology @eyeadvocacy @aao_ophth

@NEIDirector @theNAMedicine @NHGRI_Director @genome_gov @NIH @theNASEM Congrats! Very well-deserved

This was a tremendous honor to be inducted into the National Academy of Medicine (@theNAMedicine). And especially nice to join together with colleague & friend Eric Green (@NHGRI_Director, from @genome_gov at @NIH).

@DrSyMoroi @emxuMD @aao_ophth @AGSDocs She did a stellar job at the council meeting, our specialty is lucky to have people like her advocating

So proud of ⁦@emxuMD⁩ giving invited talk to ⁦@aao_ophth⁩ trustees on #advocacy. Title “Making a Difference Back Home: Perspectives from an Advocacy Ambassador”. Together with Dr. Solish ⁦@AGSDocs⁩ and Dr. Stechschulte ⁦@aao_ophth⁩.

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

Metformin use shown to be associated with lower risk of new #AMD and dry AMD. Presentation at #RSLisbon2024 by Dmitra Skondra shows association between metformin use and 47% reduced odds of geographic atrophy in patients without diabetes @RetinaSociety

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.

@SophieBakriMD @MayoClinicEye @aostweets @chenmayo @DrAndreaTooley @aao_ophth He is a remarkable leader. Well-deserved!

Congratulations to Dr. George Bartley from @MayoClinicEye on receiving the American Ophthalmological Society Medal! @aostweets. Thank you for your outstanding service to #Ophthalmology!

Exciting news! 🤩 The 16th MERS is on August 9th, 2024 at Iowa @uiowaeye ! 🌟Keynote by Dr. Leonard Levin; Platform sessions by Drs. Machelle Pardue, Elizabeth Berger, and Elliott Sohn @ElliottSohnMD. Info: shorturl.at/bpH5I #MERS2024 #Ophthalmology #EyeResearch

Discover the power of Deep LOGISMOS! Say goodbye to common errors and motion artifacts in OCT segmentation, even in the most challenging cases with extremely thin RNFL. Check this out: doi.org/10.1364/BOE.51… #OCT #RNFL

New episode of The Resident Journey with Dr. Ian Han (@3Y3MD) on tips for transioning as a senior resident and retinal imaging interpretation. spotify.link/XTfqruEwqIb

A fantastic Retina surgeon and person! Grateful we were able to host him for this conference

#NEIfunded work demonstrating the impact of autonomous #AI on improving access to diabetic retinopathy screening in children. @HopkinsMedicine @EndoHopkins @uiowaeye @UWMadison_Eyes @NatureComms paper: nature.com/articles/s4146…

📣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
