Analysis found patients receiving anti-VEGF inhibitors for diabetic macular edema at >2/3rd of their visits, a measure of treatment intensity, generally had better 1yr visual acuity and anatomic outcomes. @phgabriellemd @SydneySaveSight @FRB_Research https://t.co/RXGm5MnM8m

[Fight Retinal Blindness! (FRB!) @FRB_Research]

Full house for the retina rapid fire session at #RANZCO54th. Professor Mark Gillies presented data from the Fight Retinal Blindness! registry that looked at outcomes in nAMD patients who switched treatments to Faricimab.

[Dr Himal Kandel 👁 @kandelhimal]

A great AVR Plenary session chaired by @profswatson and @jfangaskin! Thank you @AustVisRes for supporting important research. @RANZCOeyedoctor @FRB_Research @SydneySaveSight #RANZCO54th

[Fight Retinal Blindness! (FRB!) @FRB_Research]

We’re at #RANZCO54th with ⁦@SydneySaveSight⁩! Come by booth 150 to find out about the Institute’s short courses in ophthalmology, and how you can easily join the Save Sight Registries and integrate the system into your clinical workflow.

[Fight Retinal Blindness! (FRB!) @FRB_Research]

Stop by the Save Sight Registries booth (booth 150) at #RANZCO54th to join, receive training, and find out how you can claim CPD points simply by using the Registries. Our friendly team from the Registries and @SydneySaveSight will be on hand to answer all your questions.

[Dr Himal Kandel 👁 @kandelhimal]

It was great to present at the Australasian Ophthalmic Registries Symposium (#AORS) organised by
@FRB_Research. Artificial intelligence, single-point data entry and data linkage, and routine collection of PROs will be important aspects of modern #registries. #ai #proms #eyes
