    New Retina Radio Journal Club w/ VBS: Observation vs. Vitrectomy for Floaters

    When do symptomatic vitreous floaters warrant surgery, and when is observation sufficient? In this episode of New Retina Radio Journal Club with VBS, host Kyle Kovacs, MD, joins Matthew Starr, MD, and Neda Valikodath, MD, to review a major study on vision-degrading myodesopsias from vitreous floaters. They then debate the risks and value of limited refractive vitrectomy for select patients in real-world settings, and review their protocols for patients who present with floaters.

  8. Racial/Ethnic Disparities in TDR, DME, and Other Vision Threats in Patients With DR

    Apr 15

    Racial/Ethnic Disparities in TDR, DME, and Other Vision Threats in Patients With DR

    Are patients with DR at higher risk for TDR, DME, vitreous hemorrhage, or blindness based on race or ethnicity ? Jordan Deaner, MD, moderates a discussion with Vaidehi Dedania, MD, and Rehan Hussain, MD, about a large retrospective cohort study examining more than 627,000 US patients with DR. The panel examines why Black and Hispanic patients faced significantly higher rates of adverse outcomes at  1 and 5 years after diagnosis and unpacks what confounding variables the study could not capture. They consider what these findings should mean for screening strategies, patient education, and the day-to-day management of high-risk diabetic patients in clinic.
