Call For Abstract

Scientific Program

2nd Global Pediatric Ophthalmology Congress , will be organized around the theme “Evaluation and development of vision in pediatrics to see their world”

Pediatric Ophthalmology 2017 is comprised of 13 tracks and 69 sessions designed to offer comprehensive sessions that address current issues in Pediatric Ophthalmology 2017.

Submit your abstract to any of the mentioned tracks. All related abstracts are accepted.

Track 1:Pediatric Ophthalmology

Pediatric Ophthalmology also focuses on highlighted issues which affect the pediatric vision such as pediatric uveitis, genetic eye disease, developmental abnormalities and more. It is a vision development disorder which is also known as lazy eye. Amblyopia is an eye problem which emerges in kids can also be present in adults. The mechanism of this condition includes the differences of vision in both eyes i.e. the vision in one is weaker to compare to other. It is recommended to have regular vision screening of your child to avoid permanent vision damage. The initial symptoms include abnormal tilting, movements of the eye and improper alignment of both the eyes.

Track 1-1Pediatric Uveitis
Track 1-2Cortical Visual Impairment
Track 1-3Childhood Tearing
Track 1-4Developmental Abnormalities
Track 1-5Genetic Eye Disease
Track 1-6Common Eyelid and orbital disease in children
Track 1-7Orbital Infections

Track 2:Pediatric Optometry and Research

Pediatric Optometry and Research dedicated to the experts of Optometry and Vision Science of children. Pediatric optometric care performs the investigation such as comprehensive eye exams, binocular vision exams, low vision exams, dry eye and contact lens.

Track 2-1Visual acuity
Track 2-2Binocular vision screening
Track 2-3Ocular motility
Track 2-4Retinoscopy
Track 2-5Fundus Examination

Track 3:Low Vision

Low vision as the name indicates the condition linked with abnormal or low eye sight which interferes the daily functioning of a child. Pediatric Low vision could be a cause of various eye diseases such as pediatric glaucoma, pediatric cataract etc. Low vision exam of pediatric is differs based on the age of the child. Visual acuity, refractive error, visual field, eye muscle function and color vision are the consideration taken by pediatric ophthalmologists to find out the visual function of a child.

Track 3-1Diagnosis
Track 3-2Low vision devices
Track 3-3Patterns of vision and vision loss

Track 4:Refractive Errors and Management

The colorful image of the world that our eye project is depends on how our eyes refract the light into the lens. The refraction of the light rays causes the refractive error which is occurred due to the optical imperfections that hinders the eye from projecting the light and ultimately produces the blurred vision. Astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness are the common refractive errors. The primary causes of the refractive errors are eye length, curvature of the cornea and curvature of the lens.

Track 4-3Diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia
Track 4-4Hyperopia
Track 4-5Myopia
Track 4-6Astigmatism
Track 4-7Causes of Refractive Errors
Track 4-8Examination and Treatment

Track 5:Pediatric Cataracts

A cataract is a turbid or opaque region in the lens of the eye situated at the rear of iris inside the eye. The blurry and dull image will develop due to dense lens of the eye through which the light rays passed and shattered through the cloudy lens. Children can have a congenital (birth) cataract or can develop later in life. As per the records and estimation it is noted that one in every 250 children may get a cataract either before to birth or during their growth after birth. A cataract can effect either one or both the eyes.
