SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
HIGHLIGHTS |

|
|
|
The APVRS
2024
Congress is
less than
four months
away.
Here’s a
sneak
preview on
three of the
scientific
sessions
that will be
taking place
during the
Congress! |
|
|
|
Public
Health
Perspectives
in Retinal
Disease |
|
Public
health is
the science
and art of
preventing
disease,
prolonging
life, and
promoting
health
through
organized
efforts and
informed
choices.
Science
drives
public
health, and
public
health
drives
health
policy. The
World Health
Organization
and the
International
Agency for
the
Prevention
of Blindness
recognize
the
importance
of
region-specific
data-driven
health
policy, such
as the
Global
Burden of
Disease
(GBD) data.
The GBD
estimated
that in
2019, at
least 2.2
billion
people lived
with visual
impairment.
Four leading
causes of
visual
impairment
are
refractive
error,
cataract,
glaucoma and
retinal
diseases.
The current
symposium,
‘Public
Health
Perspectives
in Retinal
Diseases’,
will address
how advanced
scientific
knowledge
shapes
national and
global
health
policy on
major
retinal
diseases. It
will also
discuss the
global
preparedness
to meet the
2030
sustainable
development
goals and
their
execution in
one of the
Asia-Pacific
countries. |

|
|
Anatomical
Endpoints in
Clinical
Trials |
|
In this
symposium,
speakers
from around
the world
will present
and discuss
the latest
development
in the
evaluation
of
anatomical
endpoints in
clinical
trials for
various
vitreoretinal
and macular
diseases. A
wide
spectrum of
diseases
will be
covered
including
diabetic
retinopathy,
age-related
macular
degeneration,
polypoidal
choroidal
vasculopathy,
inherited
retinal
diseases,
vitreoretinal
surgery,
intraocular
inflammation
and
pediatric
retinal
diseases. |

Basics in
Imaging from
the Masters |
|
Join us for
a
comprehensive
90-minute
symposium
designed to
provide a
foundational
understanding
of retinal
and
choroidal
imaging.
This
session,
titled
"Basics of
Retinal
Imaging,"
will be led
by esteemed
experts who
will delve
into the
essential
principles,
techniques,
and
advancements
in retinal
and
choroidal
imaging.
Attendees
will gain
insights
into various
imaging
modalities
such as
Optical
Coherence
Tomography
(OCT),
Fundus
Photography,
Fluorescein
Angiography,
and
Autofluorescence.
The
symposium
will cover
the
practical
applications
of these
technologies
in
diagnosing
and managing
retinal
diseases,
enhancing
both
clinical
practice and
research.
Interactive
discussions
and case
studies will
facilitate a
deeper
understanding
of how to
interpret
imaging
results
effectively.
This
symposium is
ideal for
ophthalmologists,
researchers,
and
healthcare
professionals
eager to
enhance
their
knowledge
and skills
in retinal
imaging. |
