Track 2: Pediatric Cataract Surgery

A refractive error, for example, partial blindness (near sightedness), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism or presbyopia, refractive surgery is a strategy for revising or enhancing vision. There are different surgical methods for modifying eye's centring capacity by reshaping the cornea, or clear, round vault at the front of your eye. Different techniques include embedding a focal point inside the eye. The most generally performed kind of refractive surgery is LASIK (laser-aided situ keratomileusis), where a laser is utilized to reshape the cornea. For individuals who are myopic, certain refractive surgery systems will diminish the bend of a cornea that is excessively steep so that the eye's centring power is reduced. Pictures that are engaged before the retina, because of a more drawn out eye or soak corneal bend, are driven nearer to or specifically onto the retina following surgery. Pictures that are locked in past the retina, due to a short eye or level cornea, will be pulled closer to or particularly onto the retina after surgery.

Track 3: Pediatric Optometry

Pediatric optometry refers to the examination of children's eyes by optometrists who are trained to evaluate and treat visual disorders in children. Pediatric optometrists work closely with the Pediatric ophthalmologists when a patient needs medical or surgical treatments.

Relevant Societies:

Track 4: Pediatric Strabismus

Pediatric strabismus deals with diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye disorders in the pediatric age group and the treatment of strabismus or abnormal alignment of the eyes. Pediatric Eye care is essential to help understand and prescribe the best possible treatment for eye disorders in children. Strabismus is the medical term for misalignment of the eyes – two eyes that are not straight. It occurs in at least 5% of the population. There are three common types: Esotropia, or “cross eye”, where one eye is turned inward, toward the nose, Exotropia and Hypertropia. Our eyes are such a beautiful gift, so when a child is diagnosed with acute pediatric strabismus, it’s natural that parents are concerned and want to help their child.

Strabismus can run in families. Sometimes the condition is due to the eyes being out of focus; in this case, eye glasses are part of the treatment. Sometimes there is a problem with the eye muscles or nerves.

Strabismus can also be caused by a serious problem inside the eye, such as a tumour or a cataract, which leads to poor vision.

Track 5: Retina and Retinal Disorders

Retina is the light sensitive cells located at the rear end of the eye. They send light sensitive information to the brain. The most common retinal disorders include macular degeneration, Diabetic eye disease, Retinal detachment, Retinoblastoma, Macular pucker, Macular hole, Floaters etc. Age related macular degeneration is the major cause of loss of vision in people over 60 in America. Reasons include death of cells in the macula part of the eye due to abnormal growth of blood vessels under the macula or the slow breakdown of the cells in the macula. Myopic macular degeneration is a condition where the eyeball grows and stretches, it may cause degeneration of or scarring in the layers under the retina causing loss of central vision. These cracks can serve as a passage for abnormal blood vessels to grow under the retina. Diabetic retinopathy and retina vascular disease are diseases involving damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Colour vision defects are conditions that effect the perception of colour in individuals. Retina degeneration is the deterioration of the retina caused by the progressive and eventual death of the cells of the retina. Ocular Oncology refers to the malignant intraocular tumours and retinoblastoma. Retinal Vascular tumours include neoplastic hemangioblastomas and the cavernous hemangiomas. Hemangioblastom as sporadic and solitary tumours. Characterizing the mechanisms of the retinal cells in human and animal models helps further the understanding of Cell and Molecular Biology of the Retina. This can form the basis of diagnosis and treatment of various retinal diseases.

Track 6: Pediatric Glaucoma

Pediatric Glaucoma is comparative rare. Primary infantile/primary congenital glaucoma occurs at a rate of approximately one in ten thousand. The damage of the optic nerve due to high intraocular pressure causes the glaucoma and if it is untreated than it will progresses to vision loss with the initiation of unobserved blind spots at the edges of visual field followed by tunnel vision and finally to blindness. The causes of glaucoma include optic nerve damage along with the several underlying causes which are unknown. According to world health organization (WHO) glaucoma is the 2^nd major cause of blindness across the globe. Elderly patients are more prone to glaucoma but it can develop at any age. There are different signs and symptoms are associated with infants and Children than adults. Large eyes, excessive tearing and cloudy eyes are the signs of glaucoma in children under age 2.

Track 7: Pediatric Neuro-Ophthalmology

As your youngster's vision framework builds up, the conclusion and treatment of conditions that influence the eyes is intricate on the grounds that neurological complexities might add to issues with sight and eye capacity. Neuro-ophthalmology is derived from neurology and ophthalmology. It describes working of the eye, muscles and never system of eye. Because of the liberal representation of the afferent visual framework inside of the brain in vertebrates, neurological infection might upset vision as a displaying side effect or as an optional impact of the illness. The neurological surgery are measure medicine involved with the diagnosis and treatment of patients with injury to, or diseases/disorders of the brain, medulla spinal is and back, and peripheral nerves at intervals all components of the body.

Relevant Societies:

Track 8: Amblyopia

Commonly referred to a "lazy eye", amblyopia occurs when one eye has worse vision than the other, and the brain begins to favour the better eye. This will occur if one of the eyes is blocked from producing clear images during the critical years from ages 0 to 6. One eye may be inhibited by problems such as a lid droop, tumour, or crossed eyes (strabismus) that are not fixed when a child is young. It is crucial to have young children evaluated by an eye doctor in order to ensure that subtle signs of amblyopia are not present.

Relevant Societies:

Track 9: Ocular Oncology

Ocular oncology is providing expert diagnosis and treatment of ocular tumours and scope of specification. To protect the health and well-being of adult patients with an ocular tumour and to prolong life. Retinoblastoma is the most widely recognized tumour of the eye happen in youngsters.

Relevant Societies:

Track 10: Cataract Diabetes

Cataract in diabetic patients is a major cause of blindness in developed and developing countries. The pathogenesis of diabetic cataract development is still not fully understood because people with diabetes mellitus are statistically face a 60% greater risk of developing cataracts. Diabetic patients have a higher risk of complications after phacoemulsification cataract surgery compared to non-diabetics. In addition, research has shown that people with type 2 diabetes who lower their HbA1c level by just 1% can reduce their risk of cataracts by 19%.

Relevant Societies:

Track 11: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in adults over age 50. This eye disease occurs when there are changes to the macula, a small portion of the retina that is located on the inside back layer of the eye. AMD is a loss of central vision that can occur in two forms: "dry" (atrophic) and "wet" (exudative).

Most people with macular degeneration have the dry form, for which there is no known treatment. The less common wet form may respond to laser procedures and medication injections, if diagnosed and treated early.

Relevant Societies:

Track 12: Optometry and Vision Science

Optometry is an eye care profession associated with the vision and visual system where information is processed to produce an image, such as how human and non-human organisms’ process visual information, how conscious visual perception works in humans, how to exploit visual perception for effective communication, and how artificial systems can do the same tasks. Optometrists also called as ophthalmic optician and are qualified to diagnose & treat eye diseases.
