The American Academy of Ophthalmology has added electroretinography (ERG) to its Preferred Practice Guidelines for diabetic retinopathy, emphasizing its value in early, objective detection and personalized care.

As a gold standard for clinical decision-making, the recent update of these guidelines recognizes the valuable role of ERG in both diagnosing and managing DR.

Griffin Christenson explores how the integration of advanced technologies enables him to focus on what truly matters: delivering exceptional care to his patients.

The integration of routine electroretinography (ERG) in clinical practice enhances patient management by providing objective, actionable data for diagnosing.

Investing in technology can significantly enhance patient care while boosting profitability for optometry practices. This article highlights three key technological additions that were made to achieve these outcomes.

In this podcast, Dr. Bryan Holman discusses his clear process and strategy when introducing new technology into his practice and how he successfully integrated the RETeval, his most recent technology.

This article discusses where to turn when you are providing treatment in the form of lenses and vision therapy and are not seeing the improvement that you expect.

Discover the latest in visual electrophysiology with two ERG courses at EURETINA 2024. Profs. P. Stanga, D. Pojda-Wilczek, and four other experts will guide you through integrating ERG into your practice.

This article explores a diverse selection of newer optometric devices, as well as those used in specialized areas of care, designed to help you enhance your skills and advance in specific fields of optometry.

In pages 18-21 of this edition of OWNS, Ansel T. Johnson, OD, discusses how optometrists help reduce the risk of sight-threatening conditions.

The RETeval has been referenced in over 200 publications, demonstrating its increasing importance in diagnosing and managing retina and optic nerve diseases.

Dr. Melissa Richard writes about 3 clear winners in her quest to enhance care and spur financial growth, one of them being the RETeval handheld ERG, which she uses to manage her diabetic and low vision patients.

Daniel Kiernan, MD, FACS, retina specialist, describes that even though advancements in imaging and functional testing have significantly improved the diagnosis and management of DR, the current staging system falls short.

Dr. Dorothy Hitchmoth explains how the positive impact on public health and the financial rewards make diabetes care a cornerstone for the success and sustainability of optometrists who are willing to embrace this transformative approach.
