MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

MARY K. DALY, MD

Dear NEOS Membership,

In my very first letter to the membership in the September 2019 program booklet, I wrote “This academic year will bring us into the year 2020. That is a special year for us...”

None of us imagined this kind of ‘special.’

Words like ‘fluid,’ ‘uncharted,’ ‘unprecedented’ are said, heard, and read multiple times a day.

The fear surrounding the virus’s success at causing illness and death is compounded by the deep anxiety and dread surrounding its incredible impact on the economy and life as we know it.

On March 9th, the NEOS Board announced the first cancellation of a NEOS meeting in the Society’s living history. Our members have deferred all non-urgent, routine appointments and surgeries. Staff have been furloughed. Practices are under severe financial strain and stress.

And yet, there are so many good things too. Maybe not ones we imagined, but still good. Telephone and virtual visits are being rapidly integrated into practices to ensure patients continue to have access to care. That integration began before anyone knew if or how reimbursement for these new types of visits would be possible. As always, our members are putting their patients at the forefront of what they do. Video-conferencing platforms, though perhaps clumsy at first, are now offering easy and high-quality access to educational programs at our hospitals, practices, academic programs and Veterans Affairs medical centers. Attendance at some of these meetings has been record breaking, all without the commute or fighting for a parking space.

Colleagues have volunteered to assist their hospitals with much needed non-ophthalmic medical care, ‘rolling up their sleeves’ and jumping in to serve and combat this incredible crisis on the front lines, in incident command centers, and wherever they can offer assistance. Towns have come together to sew cloth masks with HEPA filters to try and fight community spread. By distributing these homemade masks to private citizens for free, these town efforts are at the same time helping to preserve precious medical grade PPE for hospital staff and first responders. Restaurants, despite their desperate financial situation, are donating hot meals to the medical and surgical units across Boston. Many of us have been able to connect with our patients by phone in a way that is not always possible in the fast-paced clinic. The patients are so grateful to receive a call from their doctor. It is so rewarding to have the ability to offer them some caring words, and in many instances, much needed human contact in this new world of social distancing.

778th Meeting | 3

This strange time is forcing uncomfortable changes, but some of that change will be for the better.

One big change for NEOS will be our first ever virtual meeting. This will be available online starting April 24, 2020. Many, many thanks go out to the moderators, guests-of-honor, the speakers, the Program and IT committees, and our executive assistant, Miguel Ocque, for their diligence and innovation in putting this novel format together so that NEOS can continue to achieve its educational mission in these unique circumstances. We are pleased to have Steve Charles, MD, FACS, FICS, present the Joan W. Miller, MD Lecture, and Quan Nguyen, MD, MSc, to deliver the inaugural Stephen Foster Lecture on Ocular Inflammation. Our exhibitors are so important to us, and there will be a Supporter Page on the NEOS website for the April 24th, 2020, meeting. Please be sure to visit the site (bring your own coffee and snacks!).

In this 136th year of NEOS, the Board and committees continue tirelessly to ensure your educational and professional needs are fulfilled. We hope you enjoy the 779th meeting of the New England Ophthalmological Society in virtual format for the first time in our history!

Stay well and safe, Mary K. Daly, MD President of NEOS

12 | New England Ophthalmological Society TOPICAL ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS IN POST-SURGICAL ENDOPHTHALMITIS Shiyoung Roh, MD

LAHEY HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL CENTER, PEABODY, MA

Objective: Review studies and better understand role of prophylactic topical antibiotics Endophthalmitis is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication of cataract surgery, with the primary source of infection being the patient’s own flora.¬¬ Reported rates of postoperative endophthalmitis from cataract surgery range from 0.04%-0.29%. In order to decrease the risk of endophthalmitis, prophylactic measures are taken. The use of Povidone-iodine has been shown to be one of the most effective prophylactic treatments in the prevention of post-cataract endophthalmitis. In addition, topical antibiotics are used perioperatively for prophylaxis against infection. Topical fluoroquinolones have been widely used as prophylaxis in cataract surgery, with fourth generation fluoroquinolones showing a significantly decreased incidence of endophthalmitis compared to prior generations. Several studies have also shown a decreased incidence of endophthalmitis with the use of prophylactic intracameral antibiotics for phacoemulsification. However, in the era of developing antibiotic resistance, there is growing concern of overutilization of newer broad-spectrum antibiotics, especially for prophylaxis. With the use of intracameral antibiotics, there are potential issues with sterility, errors in dilution, or the inadvertent use of preserved formulations leading to Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome (TASS). Additionally, many of these newer antibiotics are costly, and it is important to evaluate whether the higher costs associated with these antibiotics contribute to quality of care.

778th Meeting | 13 DROPLESS CATARACT SURGERY Z. Katie Luo, MD

MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY, LONGWOOD, MA

Objective: To understand the current development in intra-operative and post-operative drug delivery strategies aiming at drop-free cataract surgery There are 20 million cataract surgeries being done annually worldwide. Despite the high success rate of the procedure itself, poor adherence to the post-operative treatment regimen hinders many from timely recovery and increases the risk of vision-threatening complications. This presentation summaries current development in various intra- operative and post-operative drug delivery strategies, all of which aim at the removal of patient compliance from the equation, therefore optimize and standardize the healing process.

INNOVATIONS IN DRY EYE AND OCULAR ALLERGY THERAPEUTICS Erin S. Fogel, MD

CONCORD EYE CENTER, CONCORD, NH

Objective: To update attendees on newer therapeutic approaches to dry eye and ocular allergy Dry eye is prevalent in our modern society with estimates that it affects 16 million people in this country. What is more, our patients are seeking help as they spend their day in climate controlled work places, staring at screens, all of which takes its toll on comfort and vision. Advances in research, like the TFOS DEWS II report, have broadened our understanding of the complex nature of dry eye to include the role of inflammation, the loss of tear film homeostasis, neurosensory abnormalities, and the importance of the meibomian glands and eyelids. This talk will cover newer therapeutic agents, both drops and devices, that address dry eye as well as where they fit in to this new paradigm. Some of these drops are new molecules, others are familiar to us, like cyclosporin, but come with innovations in delivery systems that promise improved penetration, efficacy, and lower side effect profiles. Evaporative dry eye, meibomian gland disease, and blepharitis are getting center stage attention with the development and expansion of devices to treat the eyelids. Less innovation is happening in ocular allergy treatment, but this talk will cover our current therapeutics and an update on newer agents.

778th Meeting | 17 DRUG DELIVERY IN OPHTHALMOLOGY Joseph Ciolino, MD

MEEI, BOSTON, MA

Objective: To present the potential advantages, challenges, and clinical options for sustained drug delivery to the eye. Most drugs have been traditionally delivered to the front of the eye by ophthalmic solutions or ointments. Because a means of sustained drug delivery to the eye may improve patient adherence and can possibly be more effective than drops and ointments, there has been an increased interest in developing sustained drug delivery to the eye. Many approaches have been described, but there are some unique challenges associated with ophthalmic drug delivery that may limit their effectiveness and patient acceptance. Collagen shields and pilocarpine-containing, polymermembrane unit (Ocusert) were two of the first products available for sustained ocular drug delivery. Decades later, three new products have been FDA-approved for sustained drug delivery to the front of the eye over the last several years. We will review the use of the FDA-approved products.

PHARMACOTHERAPY IN DEVELOPMENT FOR NON-INFECTIOUS POSTERIOR UVEITIS: WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM CLINICAL TRIALS? Quan Dong Nguyen, MD, MSc

BYERS EYE INSTITUTE AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY, STANFORD, CA

Objective: To recognize different pathways to regulate inflammation in the management of uveitis Uveitis is a spectrum of inflammatory disorders characterised by ocular inflammation and is one of the leading causes of preventable visual loss. The main aim of the treatment of uveitis is to control the inflammation, prevent recurrences of the disease, and preserve vision, while minimizing the adverse effects associated with the therapeutic agents. Initial management of uveitis relies heavily on the use of corticosteroids. However, monotherapy with hi-dose corticosteroids is associated with side effects and cannot be maintained long term. Therefore, steroid-sparing agents are needed to decrease the burden of steroid therapy. Currently, the therapeutic approach for non-infectious uveitis (NIU) consists of a stepladder strategy with the first line option being corticosteroids in various formulations followed by the use of first, second, and third line agents in cases with suboptimal steroid response. Unfortunately, the agents currently at our disposal have limitations such as having a narrow therapeutic window along with their own individual potential side-effect profiles. Therefore, research has been targeted to identify newer drugs as well as new uses for older drugs that target specific pathways in the inflammatory response. Such efforts are made in order to provide a targeted and safer therapy with reduced side effects and greater efficacy. Several specially designed molecular antibodies are currently in various phases of investigations that can potentially halt the inflammation in patients with NIU. In this presentation, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the current and upcoming therapeutic options for patients with NIU.

SCLERAL BUCKLING AND THE LOST ART OF RETINAL DRAWING Robert Millay, MD

UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT, DEPT OF SURGERY/OPHTHALMOLOGY, BURLINGTON, VT

Objectives: 1) Understand the importance AND TIMING of scleral depression in the evaluation of acute flashes and floaters consistent with PVD and or vitreoretinal traction 2) Understand the role of scleral buckling in the 2020 armamentarium of the retinal surgeon. Scleral buckling is the traditional method of retinal detachment repair. In spite of the notable shift towards vitrectomy or vitrectomy with scleral buckle for retinal detachment, buckling alone still has great utility in a variety of retinal detachment settings. We will discuss principles of scleral buckling, the importance of excellent evaluation of the peripheral retina with documentation of findings and development of a preop battle plan and the steps in a buckle especially drainage of subretinal fluid. The place of buckling today in the vitreoretinal surgeon’s arsenal will be deliberated upon. It is best to have many arrows in ones quiver and know which one will fly true in each specific surgical setting.

PNEUMATIC RETINOPEXY: INDICATIONS, TECHNIQUES, AND OUTCOMES Anthony Joseph, MD

OPHTHALMIC CONSULTANTS OF BOSTON, BOSTON, MA

Objectives: 1. To examine the indications, contraindications, advantages, and disadvantages of in-office pneumatic retinopexy for primary retinal detachment repair 2. To review the surgical procedure and instrumentation involved in pneumatic retinopexy. Introduced in 1986 as an alternative to scleral buckle and pars plana vitrectomy for the repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, pneumatic retinopexy remains an important tool for retina specialists. When properly utilized, it can offer lower risk and more rapid visual recovery compared to surgical alternatives. We will review the factors that ophthalmologists must consider when determining if pneumatic retinopexy is appropriate for their patients. We will also discuss the procedure in detail including keys to successful outcomes.

MEDIUM-TERM PERFLUORO-N-OCTANE FOR INFERIOR RETINAL DETACHMENTS, GIANT RETINAL TEARS, AND MACULAR PATCH GRAFT Steve Charles, MD

CHARLES RETINA INSTITUTE, GERMANTOWN, TN Objectives: 1. Emphasize the benefit of the oxygen carrying capacity of medium term PFO in autologous macular patch graft surgery. 2. Emphasize that medium term PFO for in- ferior, nasal or temporal giant retinal tears eliminates slippage of the tear and facilitates straightforward patient positioning. 3. Emphasize that medium term PFO is ideal for inferi- or detachment without a PVD, a slow PVD occurs during the two weeks PFO is in the eye. Dr. Charles will discuss the rationales and benefits of employing medium-term PFO (7-14 days) in the following conditions: 1) Inferior retinal detachment without the need for scleral buckle 2) Inferior, nasal, or temporal giant retinal tears (GRTs) 3) Superior GRT 4) Autologous macular patch graft for refractory macular hole.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS IN PEDIATRIC RETINAL DETACHMENT Caroline Baumal, MD

NEEC NEW ENGLAND EYE CENTER, BOSTON, MA

Objective: To understand the pathogenesis and risk factors for pediatric retinal detachment. To be aware of pre, intra and post-operative special considerations and develop a plan of action for pediatric retinal detachment repair. Management of retinal detachment is the pediatric age group requires special considerations. The etiology of the detachment should be considered While adults most often present with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), the pathogenesis often differs in children and may include tractional progressive vitreoretinopathies and genetic syndromes. Systemic evaluation, examination under anesthesia and bilateral ocular intervention may be necessary. Delay in diagnosis is common with signs of chronicity affecting the success of surgical repair. Special considerations are needed in every step of the assessment including pre-operatively with family counselling, intraoperatively with surgical adjuvants and equipment requirements and postoperatively with continued retinal examinations and visual rehabilitation.

FAILURE MODES IN RETINAL DETACHMENT SURGERY Steve Charles, MD

CHARLES RETINA INSTITUTE, GERMANTOWN, TN

Objectives: 1. Emphasize the utility of Schlieren optical effect, collagen fiber bundle orien- tation and pigmentation to find retinal breaks during vitrectomy for retinal detachment. 2. Emphasize listening for details of patient shadow progression history in locating initial retinal breaks and detachment. 3. Emphasized the role of vitrectomy under air in locating residual vitreous traction and removing it using interface vitrectomy. As will be discussed in this lecture, there are many causes of failed retinal detachment surgery; we will discuss techniques to improve outcomes and reduce complications. The most common causes of failed retinal detachment surgery include: 1) Poor visualization (cataract, IOL fogging) 2) Failure to identify all retinal breaks and residual vitreoretinal traction 3) Multiple rows of 360 degree interrupted, rather than confluent, laser retinopexy 4) Excessive retinopexy 5) Lensectomy without complete removal of the capsule

Residents, fellows, and trainees from all the New England ophthalmologic teaching programs are invited and encouraged to submit abstracts for a scientific poster presentation contest to be conducted at the June 5, 2020, NEOS meeting. Posters will be judged on originality and scientific merit. Awards will be made for the first prize $500.00, second prize $300.00, third prize $200.00 and three honorable mentions of $50.00 each. Funding for the awards is derived from a gift to the NEOS Education Endowment Fund honoring the late Sanford Hecht, MD. Poster presentations exhibited at ARVO in 2020 and at the AAO meeting in 2019 may be submitted. We encourage all trainees to participate in this event. Medical Student work is welcome for presentation.

To submit posters, go to neos-eyes.org – future meetings/June5/abstract submission form. Deadline for abstract to appear in printed program May 8. Others may be accepted as space allows.

Poster format information will be available within the next few weeks.
