Diseases of the retina are progressive, potentially devastating ophthalmic conditions that rob patients of their sight and, often, their independence. In recent years, ophthalmologists have successfully slowed or even stopped progression of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in the elderly, with novel agents that inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This issue of The Ophthalmology Report describes research presented at Retina Congress 2009, held in New York City from September 30 to October 4, 2009. The articles in this issue, written from the academic perspective of physicians in training at leading medical institutions, summarize the import of these new finding and place them into clinical context.

The advent of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors has transformed the management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and associated choroidal neovascularization (CNV). In turn, knowledge gained from the study of these agents in AMD has led to promising treatments for other ophthalmic diseases having a vascular component. This issue of The Ophthalmology Report: Advances in Retinal Science & Therapeutics describes recent clinical trials that evaluated the efficacy and safety of anti-VEGF therapy of exudative AMD, the therapeutic options available when VEGF inhibition fails, studies of VEGF Trap-Eye, and the scheduling of maintenance anti-VEGF therapy. The articles within are based upon presentations delivered during the fourth Joint Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology, held October 24–27, 2009, in San Francisco, California. The articles in this issue, written from the academic perspective of physicians in training at leading medical institutions, summarize the import of these new findings and place them into clinical context.
