Post by Retina International

"Hope, science and solidarity." Those are the words our Vice Chair, Manny Moodley, used to describe his experience at United in Vision 2026 in Fort Worth, Texas. Reflecting on the conference in the latest Retina South Africa newsletter, Manny highlighted the extraordinary pace of progress in retinal research, the growing recognition of mental health as a key priority for our community, the transformative potential of assistive technology, and, above all, the power of bringing people together. One message stood out throughout his reflections: we are stronger together. As a member of both the planning teams for United in Vision and CEO of Retina South Africa, Manny continues to champion collaboration, patient advocacy, and ensuring that scientific progress translates into meaningful improvements in people's everyday lives. “Manny” thanks (pun intended) for your thoughtful reflections and for your continued leadership, passion, and commitment to the global retinal community. We are proud to have you helping shape the future of Retina International.
