The field of retina has been greatly blessed with innovation during recent years. Break-throughs in diagnostic imaging as well as in technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and gene therapy have found most constructive grounds in ophthalmology.
For this year’s conference we will therefore focus on the current condition of the “real world” as a starting point to define our needs and necessities and test the potential of AI to introduce novel horizons. Diagnostic imaging has further evolved with wide-field screening of the entire retina and OCT-A as an emerging tool for clinical routine and understanding disease mechanisms. Diabetes has become a growing pandemic and requires dedicated management in early diagnosis and monitoring of therapeutic interventions with AI already landed on clinical grounds. Major topics of unlimited relevance are the aging retina and the new developments in myopia worldwide which will be the Keynote Lecture at ART 2019.
