This past weekend, Tennessee Retina was proud to be represented at two premier ophthalmology events — the American Academy of Ophthalmology Annual Meeting (AAO 2025) and ACE 2025, hosted by IJCAHPO.
AAO 2025
AAO 2025 brought together thousands of eye care professionals from around the world to share research, exchange ideas, and explore innovations shaping the future of ophthalmology. The meeting highlighted emerging therapies, advancing technologies, and discussions that continue to drive progress in patient care.
Tennessee Retina was honored to have several of our physicians contribute their expertise during this year’s program:
