At the 14th Vietnam Eye Flux - Retinal Diseases Conference with the theme "Epidemic diseases of eye flux - retina in trauma: Update on diagnosis and treatment of eye flux - retina diseases in 2026", Prof. Dr. Do Nhu Hon, former Director of the Central Eye Hospital, said: Traffic accidents, labor accidents and sports injuries are increasing, eye flux - retina lesions are becoming one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness. These complex lesions not only seriously affect the quality of life of patients but also pose many challenges for diagnosis, treatment and vision rehabilitation.
In Vietnam, the rate of retinal glaucoma is on the rise. Among the blindness-causing diseases, retinal disease ranks second after cataracts. Among them, the most recorded cases are retinal detachment, diabetic retinal disease, hypertensive retinal disease, premature infant retinal disease, central retinal melanoma, anterior membrane retina...
According to experts, the application of new advances in diagnostic imaging, medical treatment and vitrography surgery plays an important role in improving treatment effectiveness, while optimizing the ability to restore vision for patients.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Ngoc Dong, Director of the Central Eye Hospital, said that this is an annual scientific forum of the Lens Flux - Retinal Diseases specialty, a conference gathering domestic and international experts to update new advances in diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. This year's program focuses on lens flux - retinal damage due to trauma, applying modern diagnostic imaging techniques and optimal treatment strategies to restore vision for patients. In addition, the conference also updates new trends in the treatment of internal and external retinal diseases and the application of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology.
Notably, experts have shared many applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnosing and monitoring retinal diseases, along with advanced glass-retinal fluid surgery techniques being deployed at many leading ophthalmology centers.
