Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What's Next for Nutritional Strategies in AMD Care With Drs. Rishi Singh and Jeffry Gerson
Q: So Jeffry, as we look at the current landscape in 2026, what do you see as the most important recent developments in nutritional research in AMD?
Gerson points to the growing evidence around combining well-established AREDS2 formulations with B vitamins and other micronutrients, suggesting a potential benefit across a broader spectrum of AMD patients, including earlier stages, supported by broader mechanistic insights into mitochondrial health and vascular protection.
Emerging Evidence on B Vitamins and Expanded Nutritional Strategies in AMD With Drs. Rishi Singh and Julie Poteet
Q: Could you describe the WAFACS study and its findings for our audience?
WAFACS is a key randomized trial analyzing folic acid, B6, and B12 in a cardiovascular-risk female cohort; over about 7 years, the active group showed substantially lower risks of incident AMD and visually significant AMD, supporting a biologic rationale for B vitamins but with caveats about the study design and applicability to AMD treatment guidelines.
The Retina Radar With Dr. Arshad Khanani: Surgical Techniques and Instrumentation With Dr. Aleksandra Rachitskaya
Q: Can you share some of the latest innovations in the gene therapy space?
Recent innovations include improved techniques for administering gene therapy subretinally and advances in instrumentation that enhance precision and efficacy.
The Retina Radar With Dr. Arshad Khanani: Surgical Techniques and Instrumentation With Dr. Aleksandra Rachitskaya
Q: What are your thoughts on the learnings from the PDS program and surgical innovations?
The learnings from the PDS program highlight the evolution of surgical techniques and the incorporation of new safety measures to enhance efficacy and reduce complications during procedures.
The Retina Radar With Dr. Arshad Khanani: Surgical Techniques and Instrumentation With Dr. Aleksandra Rachitskaya
