On May 3, Boyer will be the special guest of the UP-PGH Department of Ophthalmology. He will discuss new modalities in the treatment of vitreoretinal diseases as well as ongoing clinical trials in the United States for patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and branch retinal vein occlusion.
