Angiostatic Treatment for Retinal Disease: Understanding New Data and Real-World Outcomes (CME Webcast)
Activity Description and Purpose
This educational activity is intended to provide a real-world perspective on new treatment approaches being used to address the underlying pathophysiology of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Expert faculty will review the latest data for treating nAMD and DME, focusing on angiostatic treatments. Case-based discussions will include identification of patients who may benefit from new approaches to treat their nAMD or DME and how to design treatment plans that reflect best practices and real-world data. Fresh perspectives from retina specialists who are early in their career will provide unique insights. The desired results of this educational activity are for retina specialists and other ophthalmologists to become familiar with the mechanism of action and efficacy and safety evidence of clinical trials and real-world studies of new treatments for nAMD or DME to improve the treatment burden and outcomes of their patients.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for retina specialists and other ophthalmologists.
