ARVO Conference : Diabetic Retinopathy – Battling the Global Epidemic

Diabetic retinopathy remains the leading cause of vision loss in middle-aged adults. Blindness is increasing rapidly worldwide due to this devastating disease. By bringing together basic and clinician scientists, students and established investigators , this two-day conference will focus on an integrated approach to fight this epidemic – both the current challenges and what remains to be done.

This two-day conference will serve as a continuation of the 2010 ARVO Diabetic Retinopathy conference by featuring newly released research and recent advances in oral and poster presentations as well as panel discussions made by academia, industry and clinical participants.
