Diabetic Eye Disease and Retinal Vascular Disorders

Diabetes and vascular conditions can significantly affect retinal health and are major contributors to preventable vision loss. This session focuses on diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, retinal artery disorders, and other vascular retinal conditions. Early screening and timely treatment will be emphasized as important strategies for preventing severe visual impairment. Discussions will cover advanced retinal imaging, intravitreal therapies, laser treatment, surgical management, and emerging pharmacological approaches. Artificial intelligence and automated screening technologies may provide new opportunities for detecting disease at earlier stages. Personalized monitoring and integrated management of systemic and ocular health will also be explored. Experts will share clinical experiences and research findings from retinal and diabetic eye care.
