Retina

Eurolam Retina works with a special interest in the macula and vitreoretinal diseases, uveitis, and tumors. The society promotes the scientific exchange of knowledge between specialists, education, and research.

The retina is an evolving specialty that includes a specific medical and surgical knowledge; each case has to be evaluated individually to determine the best management. It is of vital importance to share personal experiences and results to grow up together.

Eurolam Retina organizes a biannual congress; also participates in international congresses through symposia. It is active in European Congresses: European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA) and European Society of Ophthalmology (SOE), American Congresses: American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) and American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and the World Ophthalmology Congress (WOC).
