This video was recorded at View Point Calgary, which took place on May 24, 2025.

There are over 20 inherited retinal diseases including retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt disease, Usher syndrome, and Leber congenital amaurosis. Being diagnosed with one of these conditions can be challenging, and you may have many questions about your care, or what treatments are available or currently being studied. Dr. Matt Benson will give an overview of IRDs and answer audience questions.

View Point is proudly presented by Bayer and supported by Gold partner Roche and Silver partners AbbVie, Astellas, Beacon Therapeutics, Johnson & Johnson, and Specsavers.
