Connect with colleagues in a unique forum open to all retina professionals
Join us for Retina World Congress (RWC), the first-of-its-kind international congress uniting more than 30 retina societies from around the globe and industry leaders ranging from health care professionals to corporate representatives.
RWC was established at the urging of regional retina societies’ leadership to bring together retina professionals who are spearheading innovation and advanced science in retinal health. In this unique forum, retina specialists can learn about the challenges faced and groundbreaking work being done by their colleagues all over the world.
Three objectives drive RWC:
