11th SAN RAFFAELE
OCT & RETINA FORUM
We are pleased to invite you to the 11th edition of the San Raffaele OCT & RETINA Forum. Building on a decade of scientific excellence, this year’s Forum brings together the world’s leading experts in ocular coherence tomography and retinal disease management.
Join us for two days of cutting-edge research, clinical insights, and networking opportunities in the heart of Milan — one of Europe’s foremost centers for ophthalmological innovation.
The Forum features hands-on workshops, poster sessions, and the prestigious Brancato Award, making it an unmissable event for researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Genetic vasculopathies are a diverse group of inherited or de novo disorders where gene mutations cause structural or functional abnormalities in blood vessels.
Diabetic Macular
Edema (DME)
This topic focuses on how OCT precisely measures retinal thickness and detects intraretinal or subretinal fluid, guiding laser therapy or anti-VEGF injections.
OCT Angiography
(OCTA)
A dye-free imaging advancement that maps blood flow in the retinal and choroidal microvasculature.
Macular Holes and Epiretinal Membranes
OCT provides clear, cross-sectional views of the vitreoretinal interface, identifying tractional forces that cause wrinkled retinas or full-thickness macular holes, and aids in surgical planning.

The purpose of the award is to adequately honor the memory of Prof. Rosario Brancato, choosing a modality that he would certainly have greatly appreciated.
The past four editions took place in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The 5th edition will be organized during the OCT & RETINA FORUM, and the winner will be honored in the session dedicated to the “Rosario Brancato Retina Award”. For more information click here.
