Good Wine, Young Cells and Standing Laser Surgery on Day 2 of APGC 2026
From wine-inspired cell therapy to gene biofactories, Saturday’s SNEC Plenary turned six career tributes into a forward-looking masterclass. “This is my home and will always be my home, wherever I may be in the world.” Prof. Tien Yin Wong (Singapore/China) opened with that line, the first of six lectures in a morning built around achievement....

PRIMA Retinal Implant for Geographic Atrophy Enters European Market
A tiny chip is giving dry AMD patients their reading vision back, and Europe said yes first. For years, geographic atrophy (GA) has taken central vision and given nothing back. That may be changing. Science Corporation (California, USA) has commercially launched PRIMA, a retinal implant designed to restore functional central vision in patients with GA,...

Daylight Saving Time Shift Linked to Spike in Retinal Disease
New claims data suggest springing forward may cost your patients more than sleep. A one-hour clock change may do more than throw off sleep schedule; it may also raise the risk of retinal disease. A nationwide U.S. study by researchers from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, published in Scientific Reports, found that the month...

Beyond a Family Name
Dr. Audina Berrocal’s journey to the forefront of ophthalmology Born into ophthalmology royalty, Dr. Audina Berrocal could have coasted on a celebrated family name. Instead, she built something entirely her own, becoming one of the world’s foremost pediatric retina experts. Few surgeons spend their days operating on patients who weigh less than a kilogram. For...

Heads Up, Seven Up
Has HUD surgery actually moved the needle? At COPHy 2026, two retinal heavyweights debated the promise, proof and persistent question marks behind vitreoretinal surgery’s most cinematic technology. Raise your hand if you’ve felt it—that slight twinge of envy when a colleague rolls into the OR with a gleaming digital tower, fires up a cinema-sized 3D...

The Art of the Flap
Beyond closure, rebuilding the fovea A closed macular hole is not always a restored fovea. For large, myopic, chronic and refractory holes, the inverted ILM flap turns tissue once peeled away into a scaffold for repair. On optical coherence tomography (OCT), a macular hole can appear closed even when the fovea hasn’t truly recovered. The...

The Surgical Copilot
AI and modern retina surgery AI has already learned how to read retinal scans. Now, it’s beginning to enter the OR, predicting outcomes, tracking instruments and reshaping what surgical assistance may look like in vitreoretinal care. The operating room depends on a choreography of vision, timing and instinct. In vitreoretinal surgery, much of the work...

The Membrane Wars
ERM, ILM and where to stop One membrane is the problem. The other may be the solution…or an unnecessary casualty. Retina surgeons remain divided on where the peel should end. For decades, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling has been the standard surgical treatment for symptomatic macular puckers, reliably improving vision and...No entries were found for this taxonomy term.
