Retina Reporter
The Retina Reporter is our bi-annual Retina Australia newsletter, featuring updates of new medical and scientific research developments. It will also keep you abreast of the activities of Retina Australia and other inherited retinal disease information and stories of interest.
Between each Retina Reporter Newsletter, our e-newsletter, the Retina Insider, will deliver monthly research updates both nationally and internationally and invitations to upcoming webinars and information sessions. These are not acccessible on our website but you can subscribe to our all newsletters here.
