Spring Retina Update

For more than a half of century, the Retina Research & Development Foundation (RRDF) has known the importance of providing education to the eye care community.  In keeping with this philosophy, RRDF and the physicians of The Retina Institute held its first Spring Retina Update in 2015.  The course was designed for eye care professionals to learn about recent clinical advances in the diagnosis and management of eye diseases as well as advances in ophthalmic research.  Optometrists, ophthalmologists and technicians all benefit from this educational opportunity.
