Inspired by the dynamic spirit of VBS Surgical Rounds, this session offers an engaging, informal deep dive into some of the most fascinating medical retina cases—designed especially for fellows and early-career retina specialists looking to sharpen their clinical insight and decision-making.
Our moderators will be Dr. Yewlin Chee and Dr. Matt McKay with special guest moderator Dr. Tedi Begaj.
We’re inviting video submissions from fellows-in-training!
We welcome PowerPoint-based presentations featuring compelling retina cases, including case history, clinical presentation, relevant imaging and/or labs, treatment (if applicable), and clinical course—depending on the current stage of the case. Unresolved or “mystery” cases are also encouraged. Teaching slides are not required. Presentations should aim for approximately 8 minutes, followed by a 2-minute discussion. The cases will be reviewed and about five (5) presentations will be selected for this session.
Please send your presentation to Yewlin Chee (yewlin.chee@gmail.com) and Matt McKay (kmmckay@mgb.org). The deadline for submission is Thursday, October 30th, 2025, 1159p ET.

The winning fellow video for the VBS Surgical Rounds series this year will be automatically entered into our VBS Fellows Foray session at the annual meeting in April!
