Snowmass Retina & Eye 2025: Ronald Frenkel, MD, previews the unique agenda with a fusion of retina, cataract, and glaucoma
The 15th annual meeting, taking from March 24–28 in Snowmass, Colorado, will deliver high-impact discussions on macular disease, artificial intelligence in ophthalmology, and breakthrough therapies—plus opportunities for networking on and off the slopes.
The 2025 Snowmass Retina and Eye Meeting, taking place at the Viceroy Hotel from March 24–28 in Snowmass, Colorado, offers retina specialists an immersive learning experience alongside winter recreation. Course Director Ronald Frenkel, MD, emphasized the meeting’s commitment to innovation in retina, cataract, glaucoma, and the anterior segment. “We wanted to get an update on the latest things and the newest things in retina and in ophthalmology,” he said, underscoring the interactive format designed to optimize engagement.
Retina-focused highlights will include David Sarraf, MD’s Machemer Lecture, which will explore strategies to minimize the risks of pigment epithelial detachment and retinal pigment epithelium tears. Attendees will also gain insights into emerging treatments for macular disease and geographic atrophy. The program will feature discussions on AI’s expanding role in diabetic retinopathy diagnosis and management, fostering interactive dialogue among experts.
Beyond retina, this 15th annual meeting will cover advancements in drug-delivery platforms for glaucoma, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, and presbyopia-correcting IOLs. “We’ve tried to hit really important topics and update those topics by just all-star faculty,” Frenkel said. Keynote presentations will include the Epstein Lecture on advanced glaucoma by Leon Herndon, MD, and the Ridley Lecture on cataract surgery by Cathleen McCabe, MD.
With daily breaks for outdoor activities, including skiing, the event will foster informal networking in a relaxed setting.
