APIO 2026: Ocular Imaging in Practice
At the Hôtel Alpha Palmiers, the evening began with two lectures. Dr Paulina Bartoszek (Jules-Gonin Eye Hospital) presented on serous retinal detachment associated with tumours and drug-induced toxicity, whilst Dr Jean Vaudaux discussed its inflammatory forms – scleritis, uveitis and infections. The common thread: imaging guides the diagnosis.
The participants then took the lead. Divided into four round-table discussions, they analysed series of OCT images alongside the experts: pachychoroid, AMD and dystrophies, inflammatory conditions, and ocular tumours. Looking together, discussing, comparing: this is the spirit of the APIO.
To round off the evening, four groups competed in the imaging competition. The 2026 APIO prize went to the ‘Bond’ group. A big thank you to Drs Puig, Fang and Germeyan for their commitment throughout the evening.
