Profile
This Virtual Reality Room takes learners on a compelling journey through the retinal conditions of diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). DR, AMD, and RVO are diseases that can steal vision and are among leading causes of vision impairment and blindness. Learners are invited to intimately explore challenging aspects of each condition, including the impact of treatment delay in proliferative retinopathy (PDR); vascular occlusive disease in AMD; and the differentiation of ischemic disease, complications of central vein occlusion and the visual experience of eyes affected with RVO. These immersive experiences highlight the importance of early recognition and timely intervention in each retinal condition to combat the risk for irreversible vision loss.
This immersive Virtual Reality experience investigates the importance of screening, early detection and timely treatment in retinopathy management. Learn essentials about screening, referral, and how early intervention in nonproliferative disease can help optimize visual outcomes in diabetes. This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
