Within the space of just a few years, several new retinal treatments have been approved promising increased durability and better patient outcomes. These conditions can significantly impact vision and quality of life for patients. This webcast will explore how clinical realities intersect with coverage policies in the management of diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic macular edema (DME), and age related macular degeneration (AMD). This session will highlight current practice patterns, gaps in care, and the unmet needs providers face when navigating treatment decisions for patients at risk of vision loss. Our experts will share candid perspectives on where payer policies support—or hinder—optimal outcomes, and outline practical, evidence aligned strategies payers can adopt to better enable timely, effective care. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the shared challenges across stakeholders and learn how collaborative best practices can improve patient outcomes in both DR/DME and AMD.
