EURETINA was established in 1999 to promote the sharing of knowledge among European vitreoretinal and macula specialists. EURETINA aims to provide education on new diagnostic developments, advances in vitreoretinal surgery, the development and application of new drugs and procedures in the treatment of macular degeneration.
