Sharing the Latest in Advancements in Patient Care: Glaucoma 360

Are you interested in exploring the latest frontiers in glaucoma care? Do you want to network with industry leaders and leading glaucoma experts? Are you curious about the real-world advances in patient care? Then don’t miss out on Glaucoma Research Foundation’s 2024 Glaucoma 360 event. Each year, Glaucoma Research Foundation organizes a 3-day event where scientists, clinicians, industry leaders, and start-ups share the most recent advancements in glaucoma care.

Imagining a world free of glaucoma starts with the ambitious drive of care providers, industry leaders, researchers, and many more to translate scientific discoveries and innovative ideas into action. This undertaking requires a platform for scientific exchange, networking, collaborating, and sharing of ground-breaking ideas. Glaucoma 360 provides this platform. Three distinct programs compose the conference: the Annual Gala, New Horizons Forum and, the Glaucoma Symposia. As one past attendee has described it, “What sets this meeting apart from other ophthalmology meetings is its emphasis on innovation. It’s exciting to see what the future holds. It makes me a lot more hopeful about the future of glaucoma care.”

Register now if you want to learn about the latest treatment options in glaucoma and meet some of the world-renowned experts who participate in this meeting.

The New Horizons Forum

The New Horizons Forum is the centerpiece of Glaucoma 360; it is a full day of presentations, panels, and discussions that unite clinical leaders, industry executives, financial experts, and representatives of the FDA in the shared goal of driving research and innovation toward the advancement of glaucoma treatments (Figure 1). This forum facilitates the translation of novel concepts into clinical practice by highlighting the latest research and scientific developments.

This year’s New Horizon Forum opens with the keynote lecture, “The Innovation Journey of an iDoctor,” by Sean Ianchulev, MD, MPH. Dr. Ianchulev is a professor of ophthalmology and director of innovation and technology at New York Eye and Ear of Mount Sinai, Icahn School of Medicine.

He has been called the “Steve Jobs of ophthalmology” and embodies the spirit of innovation, discovery, and scientific breakthrough which has transformed the ophthalmic field and patient care. As a researcher, developer, and serial entrepreneur, Dr. Ianchulev is one of the top innovators in the field. His research and inventions have produced major advancements that have transformed treatment paradigms in retina and glaucoma and have led to new FDA-approved therapies that benefit hundreds of thousands of patients every year. In addition, Dr. Ianchulev is the founder and executive chairman of Eyenovia, Inc., Iantrek, Inc., and RemoniHealth, Inc.

Other presentations slated for the 2024 New Horizons Forum include: “Transforming glaucoma care: addressing unmet needs,” “Medications in motion: innovations in glaucoma drugs and delivery,” and “Where do we go from here? Keeping the focus on innovation,” presented by world-renowned experts in their respected fields (Figure 2). These talks will give attendees novel insights into the evolving field of glaucoma research and clinical treatment (Figure 3). Breaks between sessions offer attendees a great opportunity to network with peers and industry leaders or to visit the exhibits of pioneering companies (Figure 4). “The New Horizons Forum continues to be the most exciting, collaborative, and inspiring glaucoma-focused conference. It’s a pleasure to share the room with such incredible thought leaders and innovators in our collective fight against glaucoma” says an attendee of last year’s New Horizons Forum.
