"RWC brings OSLI Retina extended access to leading clinicians on the forefront of the diagnosis and treatment of retinal disease that will greatly enhance the practical and clinical science presented in the publication."

OSLI Retina focuses exclusively on retinal diseases, surgery and pharmacotherapy. This MEDLINE/PubMed cited peer-review publication boasts an expedited submission-to-publication process offering clinical science and case report articles.

In consideration of safety and travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Retina World Congress biennial meeting has been rescheduled from 2021 to February 6-9, 2022 and will be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at the Marriott Harbor Beach hotel.
