4^th World Eye and Vision Congress December 03-03, 2021 Amsterdam, Netherlands

Track 1: Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is the knowledge of medical conditions involving the eye. Ophthalmologists are specialists who specialize in the medicinal and surgical treatment of the organ. Ophthalmologists are in charge for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of nearly all eye conditions and visual problems.

• Glaucoma
• Macular degeneration
• Diabetic retinopathy

Track 2: Ophthalmic Pathology 

The branch of medicine and surgery which deals with the study of the diagnosis and treatment  of the disorders of the eye is known as the ophthalmology. Ophthalmic pathology is one of the subspecialty of the surgical pathology and also a subspecialty of ophthalmology. It mainly deals with the diagnosis and characterization of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the eye.

• Eye tumors
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Dry eye syndrome
• Glaucoma

Track 3: Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a medical condition which may result in the blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. Macular degeneration is also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD). Macular degeneration mostly occurs in old people due to the damage to the macula of retina, and genetic factors and smoking also plays a major role.

• Visual hallucinations
• Dry macular degeneration
• Wet macular degeneration

Track 4: Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye is a disorder of the tear film which happens due to tear deficit or extreme tear loss; it causes harm to the interpalpebral ocular surface and is related with a variation of symptoms reflecting ocular distress. Dry eye syndrome, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), is a common condition stated by patients who pursue ophthalmologic care and is characterized by irritation of the ocular surface and lacrimal glands.

• Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca
• interpalpebral ocular surface
• ophthalmologic care

Track 5: Corneal Ectasia

Corneal Ectasia refers to a collection of corneal conditions. The most common among them is keratoconus, but it is also an ill-fated risk of refractive surgeries like LASIK or PRK. Post-LASIK and post-PRK ectasia are categorised by removing too much corneal tissue during the process which then creates uneven astigmatism.

• Keratoconus
• Corneal cross-linking
• Intacs
• Corneal Transplants

Track 6: Keratoconus and Glaucoma

Keratoconus in addition pellucid marginal corneal degeneration (pellucid) are disorders usually associated with low normal intraocular pressure (IOP) and are not supposed to be associated with glaucoma. However, in a big cornea referral practice with a special interest in the treatment of keratoconus, a number of patients have established glaucomatous optic neuropathy or have been identified as “glaucoma suspects,” in spite of having usual or minimally elevated IOPs. 

• Corneal Degeneration
• Corneal Hysteresis
• Intraocular Pressure

Track 7: Color Blindness

Color blindness (color vision deficiency) is the reduced ability to see color or modifications in color. It can be a problem doing everyday jobs such as choosing ripe fruit, choosing clothing, and reading traffic lights. Color blindness can also make some educational activities more problematic. However, difficulties are generally slight, and most color-blind people adapt. Individuals with full color blindness (achromatopsia) may also feel uncomfortable in sunny environments and have reduced visual activity.

• Achromatopsia
• Monochromacy
• Dichromacy

Track 8: Retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is an eye cancer that originates in the retina which is the delicate lining on the inside of the eye. Retinoblastoma frequently affects young children, but can hardly occur in adults. An uncommon form of eye cancer, retinoblastoma is the most common form of cancer distressing the eye in children. Retinoblastoma may happen in one or both eyes.

• Eye Cancer
• RB1 Gene
• Genetic Mutations

Track 9: Blepharospasm and Astigmatism

Blepharospasm also called essential blepharospasm is blinking or other eyelid activities, like twitching, that an individual can’t control. Blepharospasm typically starts with minor eyelid twitches that occur every once in a while. Astigmatism is a common vision problem affected by a fault in the form of the cornea. With astigmatism, the lens of the eye or the cornea, which is the forward-facing surface of the eye, has an uneven arc.

• Twitching
• Orbicularis Oculi Muscle
• Fasciculation

Track 10: Ocular Hypertension

Ocular hypertension is a presence of elevated fluid pressure inside the eye usually with no presence of the optic nerve damage or visual fluid loss. In most of the individuals, the normal range of the intraocular pressure is between 10mmHg and 21mmHg. This elevated intraocular pressure is an most important risk factor for the cause of the glaucoma.

• Age-Related Macular Degeneration
• Macula
• Swelling Eyes
• Waterfalls in Babies

Track 11: Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a medical condition which may result in the blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. Macular degeneration is also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD). Macular degeneration mostly occurs in old people due to the damage to the macula of retina, and genetic factors and smoking also plays a major role.

• Visual hallucinations
• Dry macular degeneration
• Wet macular degeneration

Track 12: Neuro-Ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty that merges with the fields of the neurology and ophthalmology and mainly deals with the disease of the nervous system which mainly affects the vision, control of the eye movements or pupillary reflexes. Visual Neuroscience focuses on Visual system of the human brain mainly the visual cortex of the brain.

• Diplopia
• Visual myasthenia gravis
• Optic neuritis
• Optic neuropathy

Track 13: Crossed Eyes and Bulging Eyes

Crossed eyes or strabismus happens when a person’s eyes are incapable to line up on the equal point at the same time, and it appears to be uneven or pointed in different directions. Bulging eyes, or proptosis, arises when one or both eyes swell from the eye sockets due to the gap taking lesions such as swelling of the muscles, fat, and tissue behind the eye.

• Strabismus
• Proptosis
• Exotropia

Track 14: Diabetic Eye Problems

Diabetic eye disease is a collection of eye problems that can distress people with diabetes. These disorders comprise of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. Over time, diabetes can cause injury to the eyes that can lead to reduced vision or even blindness. But people can take steps to prevent diabetic eye disease, or keep it from getting worse, by taking care of diabetes.

• Diabetic Macular Edema
• Glaucoma
• Cataracts

Track 15: Corneal Disorders

The term "corneal disease" refers to a variation of conditions that affect primarily the cornea. These comprises of infections, degenerations, and countless other disorders that may rise mostly as a consequence of heredity. With its capability for quick repair, the cornea typically heals after most damage or disease. However, when there is a large injury to the cornea, the healing process may be lengthy.

• Corneal Scarring
• Blurred vision
• Keratitis

Track 16: Uveitis

Uveitis is a type of eye inflammation. It distresses the central layer of the tissue in the eye wall. Uveitis warning signs often come on abruptly and get worse quickly. They comprise of eye redness, discomfort and blurred vision. The disorder can distress one or both eyes, and it can distress people of all ages, even children.

• Eye Inflammation
• Blurred Vision
• Retina scarring

Track 17: Optic Nerve Disorders

Optic nerve is a paired cranial nerve which transmits the visualized information from the retina to the brain. It is also called as cranial nerve II or simply called as CN II. The optic nerve has been classified as the second of the twelve paired cranial nerves but it is technically was a part of the central nervous system, rather than the peripheral nervous system.

• Single isolated optic neuritis (SION)
• Relapsing isolated optic neuritis (RION)
• Chronic relapsing inflammatory optic neuropathy (CRION)
• the neuromyelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disorder

Track 18: Ocular Oncology

The branch of medicine which mainly deals with the study of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the cancer is known as oncology. Ocular oncology is also known as the eye neoplasms . this will affect the all parts of the eye and can also be a malignant tumor and benign tumor. These eye cancer can also be metastatic or primary cancer. 

• Laser therapy
• Plaque therapy
• Choroidectomy
• Iridocyclectomy

Track 19: Refractive Surgery

Refractive eye surgery is an non-essential eye surgery which is used in the improvement of the refractive state of the eye and to decrease the dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This refractive eye surgery includes some of the various methods of the surgical remodeling of the cornea which is keratomileusis, lens implantation or lens replacement.

• Photorefractive keratectomy
• Astigmatic keratotomy
• Radial keratotomy

Track 20: Laser Eye Surgery

Laser surgery is a type of surgery which is commonly used on eye. It is a type of surgery which uses laser for cutting of the tissue. Some of the techniques which are used in laser eye surgery are LASIK, which is used for the correction of near and far sightedness in vision and photorefractive keratectomy is also a procedure which permanently reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to remove a small amount of human tissue.

• Dermatology and plastic surgery
• Endovascular surgery

Track 21: Oculoplastics and Orbit Surgery

Oculoplastics which mainly includes a wide range variety of surgical procedures which deals with the study of the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit and the face. It also mainly deals with the reconstruction of the eye and its associative structures. Orbit surgery is one of the type of the plastic surgery  which mainlu focusses on the structures which are surrounded around the eye which mainly includes eyelids, eye sockets, lacrimal system, mid face area and forehead. 

• Blepharoplasty
• Asian blepharoplasty

Track 22: Ocular Tonometry

Tonometry is a one of the procedure which is performed by the eye care professionals which determines the intraocular pressure where the fluid pressure which is present inside the eye. It is one of the important test which is performed for the evaluation of the patients at the risk from the glaucoma.

• Pneumatonometry
• Applanation tonometry
• Dynamic contour tonometry
• Electronic indentation tonometry
