Rachitskaya of the Cole Eye Institute at the Cleveland Clinic and Dr. Yoshihiro Yonekawa of Wills Eye Hospital and Mid Atlantic Retina about their article “Peer Review Essentials: Reviewing Manuscripts for the Journal of Vitreoretinal Diseases," published in the July/August issue of JVRD.
Together, they highlight why peer review is foundational to advancing retinal research and clinical care, how structured and systematic reviews strengthen manuscripts, and what makes an effective reviewer. Hear practical guidance on accepting review invitations, providing constructive feedback, and avoiding common pitfalls such as overstating conclusions.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
