Friday, July 15, 2011

The University of Georgia is set to host a conference on low vision treatment.

The inaugural Aniridia and Low Vision Research Symposium is set to run Friday through Sunday at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education and Conference Center. It coincides with the Aniridia Foundation International 2011 "Make a Miracle" Medical Conference, which began Wednesday and runs through Sunday, also at the Georgia Center.

Aniridia is a rare, congenital eye disorder characterized by a complete or partial absence of the iris, or colored part of the eye.

The two events together will be the largest international gathering focused on treating aniridia on the broad range of developmental and ocular disorders associated with the disease.
