The latest edition of the EURETINA Clinical Trends Series is now available, offering valuable insights into current practice patterns and emerging technologies in vitreoretinal surgery.

In this supplement, Prof. Siegfried Priglinger, a member of the EBO–EURETINA Exam Committee and the Vitreoretinal Surgery Subspecialty Section, examines the key findings from the 2025 EURETINA Clinical Trends Survey. The report explores how vitreoretinal surgeons are adapting to evolving surgical techniques and the growing role of digital visualisation technologies in retinal care.

The survey highlights several important trends, including the continued dominance of vitrectomy for retinal detachment repair, increasing emphasis on individualized surgical decision-making, and the ongoing evolution of instrumentation, and fluidics. It also examines the variability in surgical volume across practices and its implications for surgical training and maintaining clinical expertise.

Additionally, the report discusses the potential benefits of digital visualisation systems, including improved ergonomics, enhanced surgical visualisation, and educational opportunities, while addressing the practical challenges that continue to limit widespread adoption.

Whether you are interested in advances in vitreoretinal surgery, surgical education, or the future integration of digital technologies into clinical practice, this supplement provides an informative overview of the current landscape and where the specialty is heading.
