ARVO/AAO Joint Symposium: Normal and Abnormal Ocular and Visual Development.
Sponsored by the Vision Science Section. Thursday, November 18, 1:30 - 5:30 PM.
During the last 20 years, there has been enormous progress in the understanding of normal ocular and visual development and the clinical consequences of its disruption. Recent advances in novel technologies for structural and functional imaging of the visual system, and in genetics and molecular biology, have advanced the potential to allow unprecedented understanding of normal developmental and maturation of the visual system and developmental anomalies. These advances will ultimately provide enhanced diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring of progression of visual dysfunctions.
