80073096 - Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute's 39th Annual Current Concepts in Ophthalmology

Thursday, December 3, 2026, 7:00 AM - Friday, December 4, 2026, 6:00 PM, Johns Hopkins Tilghman Room, Baltimore, MD


This comprehensive two day course is designed to equip ophthalmologists with timely updates on advances in clinical research, diagnostic imaging, and both medical and surgical therapies across the full spectrum of eye care. Expert faculty will review emerging evidence and evolving practice patterns in areas such as age related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract surgery, corneal disease, pediatric ophthalmology, and oculoplastic disorders. Through lectures, panels, and interactive discussions, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence to integrate these advances into their own practice, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

1. Summarize the latest developments for the management of anterior and posterior segment problems, including dry eye disease, cataract, refractive surgery, corneal disease, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, myopia, macular degeneration, thyroid eye disease, neuroophthalmology, and uveitis.
2. Evaluate emerging literature on the efficacy, safety, and cost effectiveness of new imaging techniques in ophthalmology.
3. Examine the role of artificial intelligence associated with the field of ophthalmology.
4. Assess the challenges of new antiVEGF and other biologic agents in ophthalmology, including the role of biosimilars.
5. Integrate prescribed medical and surgical treatment options into everyday practice.
