43rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS 2025)

Dear Colleague,

I'm excited to report that meeting registration and the abstract submission system for the 43rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Society of Retina Specialists are open and I look forward to welcoming you to the vibrant city of Long Beach, California, July 30 through August 2!

If I were to sum up this year’s event in one word, it would be diversity. You can expect a captivating array of educational content, ideas, perspectives, cultures, cuisines, and experiences, all set against the backdrop of this beautiful Southern California destination. From the compelling scientific program to engaging social events and unique local offerings, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

World-Class Scientific Program

This year’s meeting program features the best of the best with tried-and-true and several new program offerings to maximize your educational experience, spark new conversations and create opportunities for collaboration.

Rapid fire will again be the name of the game with shorter podium talks followed by longer discussion periods. Also, in response to attendee feedback, this year’s program will have a new emphasis on investigator-led studies on innovative ideas that focus on surgical-oriented techniques, instrumentation, and outcomes.

On July 30, the opening day of the meeting, ASRS will host a new Surgical Retina Summit that will feature a battle of the continents with notable retina surgeons from Europe, Asia and the Americas discussing surgical techniques and technologies used across the globe. This will be followed by a high-octane expert panel debate. (*Please note that this session will only be accessible for live meeting attendees.)

Be sure to roll up your sleeves and head to the ASRS Experience Center in the exhibit hall for hands-on lab experiences with some of the field’s latest surgical products and instrumentation from a variety of manufacturers.
