This symposium aims to understand the role of genetics in eye diseases and vision disorders. This event brings together researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders to share knowledge, discuss advancements, and explore the future of eye care through the lens of genetics.
Key Themes:
- Diagnosis: Identifying genetic markers associated with various eye conditions can lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses, improving patient outcomes. This symposium showcases new genetic testing technologies and their applications.
- Treatment: Gene therapy, a rapidly evolving field, holds immense potential for treating inherited eye diseases. This symposium discusses ongoing clinical trials and emerging gene therapy techniques.
- Personalized Medicine: Understanding individual genetic profiles allows for tailoring treatments to each patient’s specific needs. This symposium explores the ethical and practical considerations of implementing personalized medicine in ophthalmology.
- Counseling and Prevention: Genetic testing can reveal an individual’s risk of developing eye diseases. This symposium addresses the ethical and psychological challenges of genetic counseling and explores strategies for preventing inherited eye conditions.
