About the Refractive Error Session
Refractive errors stem from abnormalities in the eye's shape, affecting how light focuses on the retina. These errors include myopia (nearsightedness), where distant objects appear blurry due to a longer eyeball or a steep cornea; hyperopia (farsightedness), caused by a shorter eyeball or flatter cornea, making close-up vision challenging; astigmatism, characterized by an uneven corneal curvature that blurs both near and far vision; and presbyopia, which occurs with age as the lens loses flexibility, impairing close-up vision. Corrective measures such as glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery help direct light accurately onto the retina. Regular eye check-ups are essential for early detection and effective management of refractive errors, ensuring optimal visual clarity and eye health.

Refractive Error Conference 2027 — FAQs
What is the Refractive Error track at IOC 2027?
The Refractive Error track is a dedicated stream within IOC 2027 covering the latest research, clinical innovation, and best practice in Refractive Error. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Who should attend the Refractive Error sessions?
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, educators, doctoral students, and trainees with an interest in Refractive Error are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Can I present my research in the Refractive Error track?
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
Is virtual attendance available for Refractive Error sessions?
Yes. IOC 2027 is a hybrid conference — attend the Refractive Error track in person in Singapore or join live online, with on-demand access afterward.
