Geographic atrophy (GA) continues to present significant challenges in both diagnosis and long-term patient management, as emerging therapies and evolving understanding of the disease reshape clinical practice.
To address these complexities, the Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA) is hosting an accredited educational evening titled ‘Filling the Blind Spots: New Perspectives in Geographic Atrophy’ on Tuesday, 17 March 2026.
The hybrid event will feature expert insights from Professor Robyn Guymer and Associate Professor Zhichao Wu, who will explore current understanding of GA disease mechanisms, advances in diagnosis, and key learnings from recent clinical trials.
CERA said the discussion would also examine how these developments might influence real-world patient management and future care pathways.
Designed for eyecare practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of GA in a rapidly evolving therapeutic landscape, the session will provide 1.5 OA-accredited ocular therapeutic CPD points, comprising a one-hour presentation followed by an MCQ assessment.
The event will be held in person at CERA, Level 10, 200 Victoria Parade, Melbourne, with an online attendance option available to all eyecare practitioners nationally.
