Advances with Subretinal Delivery Route
Time: 10:30 am
day: Pre-Conference Workshop Day - WORKSHOP C
Details:
Subretinal surgery has been around as a route of delivering drugs into the eye. An invasive yet effective mechanism of reaching the retina. Unfortunately, it remains an unrealistic method when delivering drugs every once every month. With elderly patients, there are several other health concerns to consider. Frequent ocular surgery could result in a higher risk of irreversible damage to the retina and vitreous space.
Here’s what you can learn by joining this workshop:
- Get an overview of ocular drug delivery via the subretinal route
- Conceptualizing the streamlining of subretinal procedures to reduce ocular damage and inflammation
- Understanding of how to improve subretinal injections for cell therapies to avoid cell death as they undergo high sheer force due to the small cannula of the subretinal injection
