To assess participant attendance and engagement for an in-person Canadian Ophthalmological Society (COS) annual meeting (2019) compared with a virtual COS annual meeting (2020). ⋯ The first COS virtual meeting attracted more participants and was available to a geographically wider audience. Indeed, more professionals from provinces that are geographically further from the traditional COS meeting locations were able to participate in the event. Meeting engagement on a social media platform increased in the virtual meeting in 2020 relative to the in-person meeting in 2019, and possible enablers for increased engagement should be sought and incorporated into future meetings.

Comparative Study
Optical coherence tomography angiography analysis of the retina in patients recovered from COVID-19: a case-control study.
To quantify the density of the macular microvasculature and the area of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in patients recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) analysis. ⋯ Patients recovered from COVID-19 displayed alterations in the retinal microvasculature, including a significantly lower VD in the SCP and DCP. Patients with coronavirus infection may be at risk of retinal vascular complications.
