This program highlights the evolving therapeutic landscape, with a focus on clinical data and practical considerations for integrating recently approved and investigational therapies into patient-centered care. Participants will explore strategies for assessing disease progression, addressing patient-specific barriers, and optimizing disease management in collaboration with general ophthalmologists.
