Post by Retina International

We’re very proud to share that Retina International has two abstracts accepted for presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place in Denver, May 3–7. ➡️ Association Between Vision and Mental Health: Findings from Wave 3 of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) - First Author: Dr Nabin Paudel, PhD ➡️ Association Between Visual Acuity and Cognitive Performance: Evidence From The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) - First Author: Dr Kate Fankun Cao Both studies use data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), Trinity College Dublin, and explore the impact that vision loss has on mental wellbeing, cognitive health, independence, and quality of life. This work is important for our community because it turns lived experience into evidence, strengthens advocacy for better services and policy, and supports more holistic, earlier, and patient-centred care. We are excited to present this important work, and we look forward to sharing more details as ARVO 2026 approaches. cc Ellen Moran, PhD #ARVO #ARVO2026 #ARVO26 #Research #RetinaInternational #VisionResearch #EyeHealth #PatientVoices #LivedExperience #MentalHealth
