Multi-national interview study on artificial intelligence in ophthalmology

Researchers at LMU Munich are looking for ophthalmology professionals from North America for an online qualitative study on artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology. To understand ophthalmology professionals’ perceptions of AI and to identify relevant factors for a successful integration of AI tools in clinical practice, the research team conducts online interviews (20-25 min) with ophthalmology professionals practicing in the US or Canada (e.g., ophthalmologists, ophthalmic technicians / assistants / nurses, optometrists). Participation does not require any previous experience or knowledge of AI. Participants will receive a $20 Amazon gift card and the chance to win another $50 gift card. Ophthalmology professionals interested in participating can access more information and sign up here.



Macula Society Endowment Fund

The Macula Society Educational Endowment provides a revenue stream to fund various educational initiatives in perpetuity, independent of year-to-year fluctuations in corporate support and other society income sources.

Macula Society Members in the News




The DRCR Retina Network is planning an exciting new Phase III clinical trial to prevent visual acuity loss due to radiation retinopathy (RR). Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either repeated injections of anti-VEGF, long-active steroid, or observation following treatment of choroidal melanoma with I-125 plaque brachytherapy. 

Any interested physicians or clinical sites should contact drcrnet@jaeb.org to learn more about joining the Network.
