Topics for 2026
What is Retina Futura 2026?
Retina Futura is a forward-looking initiative within the FLORetina ecosystem, designed to explore the future of ophthalmology by connecting today’s clinical practice with tomorrow’s innovation.
Positioned as a strategic bridge between FLORetina-ICOOR Meeting and EYENOVATE, Retina Futura creates a unique continuum:
FLORetina represents ophthalmology as it is today — clinical excellence, surgical expertise, and evidence-based practice
EYENOVATE represents ophthalmology as it will be — innovation, investment, regulatory evolution, and emerging technologies
Retina Futura connects these two dimensions, translating innovation into clinical relevance
A two-level experience: innovation across the entire Congress
In 2026, Retina Futura will expand into a comprehensive, multi-layered experience that runs across both EYENOVATE and the FLORetina Congress.
1. Clinical Trials & innovation at EYENOVATE
Within EYENOVATE, Retina Futura will highlight:
- the latest clinical trials
- emerging therapeutic strategies
- interactions between clinicians, industry, investors, and regulatory bodies
2. Innovation sessions within the FLORetina-ICOOR Congress
During the FLORetina-ICOOR Congress, Retina Futura will continue through dedicated innovation-focused sessions, integrated into the main scientific program.
These sessions will:
- bring innovation directly into the clinical discussion
- highlight cutting-edge technologies and new treatment paradigms
- foster dialogue between clinicians and innovators
- demonstrate how future developments can impact real-world patient care today
Bridging Today and Tomorrow
By spanning both EYENOVATE and FLORetina-ICOOR, Retina Futura offers a continuous narrative:
from discovery → development → clinical application.
It is not a standalone event, but a conceptual and scientific bridge, designed to ensure that innovation is not isolated — but fully integrated into the evolution of ophthalmology.
