The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) recently held its annual conference in Seattle, Washington, where eye care professionals from around the world gathered to discuss clinical research and advancements in therapeutics. The conference featured award lectures and marked a change in leadership, with SriniVas Sadda taking over as president. Dr. Sadda emphasized the organization's mission to promote scientific exchange and expressed goals of expanding outreach and advocating for funding for vision science research. The conference also showcased various research findings, including studies on physical activity differences between visually impaired and sighted children, myopia control methods in pediatric patients, and the effects of wearing multifocal lenses on myopia progression in children. Another study examined the impact of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) on vision-related activities, recommending regular low-vision screenings for patients with nAMD. Additionally, the article discussed research on the auditory processing abilities of individuals with vision loss, highlighting that people with early-onset vision loss tend to estimate sounds to be farther away than they actually are. The research presented challenges existing understandings of vision and hearing and aims to improve treatments and support for individuals with visual impairments. [Extracted from the article] |
