Ophthalmology and Vision Science

Ocular Therapeutics, Pharmacology and Emerging Treatments

Ocular therapeutics continues to develop through advances in pharmacology, targeted drug delivery, biologics, and innovative treatment strategies. This session will examine therapeutic approaches for retinal diseases, glaucoma, ocular surface disorders, inflammatory eye conditions, and other ophthalmic disorders. Discussions may include intravitreal treatments, sustained-release drug delivery systems, topical formulations, biologic therapies, gene-based treatments, and regenerative approaches. Attention will be given to treatment effectiveness, safety, tolerability, adherence, and access to therapies. The session will also explore emerging clinical research and the role of individualized treatment strategies in improving patient outcomes. Collaboration between clinicians, pharmacologists, researchers, and pharmaceutical professionals will be encouraged to support the development of new therapeutic options.
