We’re pleased to share that two of our research abstracts are featured in the newly released annual abstract issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS), the journal of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO).
The abstracts highlight our ongoing commitment to advancing research that integrates scientific discovery with patient perspectives:
Burden of geographic atrophy and treatment expectations of therapies: perspectives from patient-driven research funding and support organizations
Avril Daly, Ellen Margaret Moran, Sinead Stafford, Kelly McVicker, Petia Stratieva, Nabin Paudel

This abstract explores the significant burden that geographic atrophy (GA) places on patients and sheds light on the treatment expectations emerging from organisations dedicated to patient support and research funding. By capturing these insights, we aim to ensure that future therapies reflect real-world patient needs and experiences.
Accuracy and Readability of ChatGPT-4o Generated Responses to Queries on Age-related Macular Degeneration for Patient Education and Counselling
Nabin Paudel, Ellen Margaret Moran, Subash Bhatta, Avril Daly
Read the abstract here.
This study evaluates how well ChatGPT-4o can generate accurate and understandable responses to patient questions about age-related macular degeneration (AMD). As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare communication, this research provides valuable insights into its potential – and its limitations – in supporting patient education and counseling.
These contributions reflect our ongoing dedication to ensuring that patient voices shape the future of vision research and care. We remain committed to producing research that bridges the gap between scientific advancement and the lived experience of those affected by retinal and vision disorders.
We encourage everyone interested in the latest developments in ophthalmology and patient-centered research to explore the full abstracts in the IOVS journal.
