OMIC to Present Risk Management Session for Retina Specialists at ASRS2025
OMIC will participate in the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS2025), taking place July 30 to August 2 at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center in Long Beach, California. OMIC will present a breakout session focused on risk management in retina practice.
Linda D. Harrison, PhD, VP of Risk Management at OMIC, and Dr. Gaurav K. Shah, ASRS Program Chair and OMIC Board member, will co-present the session “How to Stay Out of Trouble: Risk Management Pearls for the Retina Specialist.”

- Complications arising from intravitreal injections
General ophthalmic risk factors:
- Documentation deficiencies
- Gaps in informed consent processes
- Safety protocols for in-office procedures
- Systems to ensure appropriate follow-up on diagnostic tests and specialist referrals
