Abstract
Retinology is undoubtedly the avant-garde of modern ophthalmology and develops rapidly. The development and implementation of newest scientific and technological advances in clinical practice contribute to the continuous improvement of diagnostics and various treatments for posterior segment pathologies. At the same time, there are certain national and regional medicine development aspects, as well as controversial issues that can be successfully explored through sociological research, particularly expert surveys. In 2024, we organized and conducted the first independent Russian survey of retinologists, “SETCHAtochkaRU”, aimed at collecting and analyzing data on current practices, opinions, equipment, and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of vitreoretinal pathology in Russia. The project yielded unique insights and was well received by both respondents and the scientific community. For this reason, we decided to repeat the survey a year later and attempt to make it a regular event, which will allow us to discuss the most modern aspects of retinology and evaluate its development trends. The “SETCHAtochkaRU — 2025” survey involved 430 specialists representing all regions of the Russian Federation, as well as Belarus, Germany, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Croatia, and Uzbekistan. The updated list of questions included such topical and relevant issues as the perspectives for the artificial intelligence use, antiangiogenic therapy trends (new drugs, biosimilars, regimens, and drug switching strategies), various practical aspects of drug use, laser, and surgical treatment for vitreoretinal pathology, the results of the federal project “Fight Against Diabetes”, and many others. Analysis of the survey results revealed a number of positive trends in the development of Russian ophthalmology. In our opinion, the “SETCHAtochkaRU” project has the potential to develop and improve as an annual monitoring study, generating original evidence base tailored to national specifics.
