Calling all eyecare professionals (ECPs)!

Registration is officially open and available for Eyes On Retina 2025, Eyes On Eyecare’s (EOE) premier virtual event for retina-focused optometrists and ophthalmologists.

Let’s start with a little rundown.

Now in its third year of operation, Eyes On Retina is a specialty-focused, one-day-only experience offering the latest (and advanced) updates in clinical content, such as:

  • Advancements in geographic atrophy (GA)
  • Managing complications, from miotics, surgery, and beyond
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) tools changing how retinal disease is diagnosed and treated
  • Trauma and emergency retina cases

From educational sessions and engagement opportunities to a virtual Exhibit Hall and live sponsor symposia, there’s something for everyone (attendees and sponsors included).

Sounds intriguing … so when is it?

The date: Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025

The times: 7:30 am PT / 10:30 am ET — 3:30 pm PT / 8:30 pm ET

And what sets this event apart from others hosted by EOE?

A unique clinical investigation opportunity!

Throughout the day-long event, attendees are invited to dust off their detective hats to work the clues, follow the data, and solve the most complex retinal mysteries in clinical practice today alongside some of the top ECPs in the field.

How: By participating in eight clinical sessions.

Clinical sessions?! Does that mean CE/CME is offered?

Indeed it does! ECPs have the chance to claim up to 5 hours of continuing education (CE) or continuing medical education (CME) by attending those aforementioned sessions.

So what sessions are being offered?

With an emphasis on GA, a few of the courses include:

  • A Clear View on GA: Enhancing Early Diagnosis and Referrals
  • Diabetes & Diabetic Retinopathy Update*
  • Imaging Techniques and New Therapies for GA*
  • Tips to Avoid Miotic-Induced Posterior Segment Complications*
  • Mitigating GA: Strategies for Early Detection and Treatment Intervention
  • Changing the Face of Retina: Embracing New and Emerging AI Applications*
  • Emergency and Trauma Retinal Grand Rounds*
  • The Impact of Extended Duration Therapies in nAMD and DME*

*Clinical sessions for CE/CME credit

For the complete schedule of courses, see here.

And take note: A few of the courses on the agenda will take place in the virtual Exhibit Hall (we’ll get to that in a moment)—and additional courses will be added up until the event kicks off.

And who are the experts we’ll hear from?

Alrighty, now tell me more about this Exhibit Hall.

The virtual Exhibit Hall is open for attendees to network and connect with fellow ECPs via peer-to-peer chat (similar to instant messaging) to compare notes and review sessions.
