About the Cornea and Ocular Surface Session
Cornea and Ocular Surface explores diseases and disorders affecting the cornea, conjunctiva, tear film, and related ocular surface structures. It encompasses diagnostic advances, dry eye, keratoconus, corneal degeneration, transplantation, tissue preservation, and evolving medical and surgical approaches for restoring ocular surface health and visual function.
Abstract Scope and Participation
Abstracts may cover corneal and external eye diseases, ocular surface disorders, transplantation, eye banking, dry eye, corneal imaging, medical therapies, surgical interventions, and treatment outcomes. Ophthalmologists, corneal specialists, researchers, eye-bank professionals, optometrists, and translational scientists are invited to participate.
