About Delhi Retina Forum

Delhi Retina Forum is a platform, for sharing ideas, experiences and updates, created by and for vitreo-retinal Surgeons.

Speciality of Vitreoretina is the most exciting and fastest growing sub-speciality in Ophthalmology. Given the vastness of the speciality, huge variety of cases and technological advancements, the retinologists across the country are always on their toes to acquire, share and dissipate new skills and knowledge among themselves. As a result, the retina meetings and CMEs that would advocate new developments in the field of vitreoretina became very frequent but new theories, ideas need to be discussed and challenged before we adopt them into our practice. Add to this the challenges faced by fellows would need some mentoring during the initial phases of vitreoretinal practice. These two things created a need to have a “different” platform for interactions between vitreoretinal specialists and that’s how Delhi Retina forum was born.

Prime focus of this forum has been scientific discussions that are candidly debated on various media. Practicing the speciality of Vitreo-Retina has been one of the most exciting as well as challenging things. VR surgeons are known for their analytical and patient centric approach. Thanks to their clinical acumen and the desire to help each other in providing best possible care to the patients, the forum is now been joined by more than 500 committed retinologists from India who believe in logistical application of latest updates and developments in field of Vitreo retina. We are also lucky to be guided/mentored by the eminent teachers and most experienced VR surgeons of this field. Simultaneously, we try our best to maintain the focus on high quality of academic content of all our discussions and debates. This has made possible our annual Delhi Retina Meet as one national meeting that stands apart from other “conventional conferencing”. A meeting which stands apart in terms of its power packed content, originality and practicality. Over years, the meeting has grown to become one of the most attended and applauded vitreoretina meetings that is unique in terms of quality of scientific content, originality in ideas and ample time allotted for discussions. This meet also provides great opportunity to fellows and young VR specialists to showcase their innovations and discuss challenges.

With this digital platform, We hope to carry on with the momentum and stick to our trademark format that focuses on knowledge sharing through discussions.
