The International Retinal Imaging Symposium (IntRIS 2019) will feature a series of lectures devoted to advanced retinal imaging and the newest developments in this exciting field. Innovative systems such as fundus autofluorescence, ultra-widefield imaging, spectral domain and swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography will all be covered. A groundbreaking session on artificial intelligence and deep learning will also be highlighted in the program. IntRIS 2019 will include a full day of lectures by many of the world’s experts in retinal imaging who will speak on recent innovations in retinal imaging that have occurred in this rapidly advancing field. Our world-renowned faculty will aim to familiarize course participants with the newest evolving technologies and will guide and instruct our registrants in the application of these advanced systems and in the interpretation of novel and challenging imaging findings. This will help our participants better manage their patients with macular and retinal disorders and achieve better patient outcomes in their practices.

We welcome your participation at IntRIS 2019 which promises to provide insight and understanding in retinal imaging and showcase the integral importance of innovative retinal imaging in the evaluation and management of retinal disease.
