Calling all eyecare professionals (ECPs)!
It’s officially that time again: Registration is now open for Eyes On Retina 2026, Eyes On Eyecare’s (EOE) annual virtual event for retina-focused optometrists and ophthalmologists.
Let’s kick things off with a little rundown.
The 4th installment of Eyes On Retina is built to help ECPs spot what others may miss—and know what to do about it.
From age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) to arterial occlusions and choroidal tumors (plus much, much more), this specialty-focused, one-day-only experience offers the latest advanced clinical updates.
