In this interview, Dr SriniVas Sadda, Director of Artificial Intelligence & Imaging Research at the Doheny Eye Institute, and Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of California – Los Angeles (UCLA) Geffen School of Medicine, and President of ARVO (2024-2025), discusses the pressing challenges and emerging opportunities in treating retinal diseases. Despite progress, many conditions, such as inherited retinal disorders, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, still lack effective treatments. Dr Sadda shares the latest advancements in diagnostic tools like imaging, which provide a deeper understanding of these diseases at the cellular level and emphasizes the need to expand access to eye care, particularly as the aging population and conditions like diabetes drive up demand.
