In January 2026, the Retina International Board and Secretariat met in Dublin to work collaboratively on the development and delivery of our 5-year strategy.
Building on extensive engagement with our membership and wider stakeholders throughout 2025, the Board and Secretariat aligned priorities and shaped our plans for 2026 and beyond, ensuring our strategy continues to reflect the needs, experiences, and voices of the global retinal community.
We extend our sincere thanks to our Board members for their active participation and commitment:

This collaborative work strengthens our ability to empower, advocate, innovate, and deliver meaningful impact for people affected by retinal diseases worldwide.
We look forward to sharing more with our membership about our plans – more to follow very soon.
