Abstracts dealing exclusively with cornea or lens should be submitted directly to those Sections. Studies may employ a variety of techniques including gross anatomical, histological, immunohistochemical, molecular genetic or imaging. In addition, biochemical and genetic mechanisms underlying inherited and acquired diseases of the eye, and therapeutic approaches to treat them are welcome. Abstracts emphasizing design and statistical methodology relating to the study of clinical problems are also welcome. Abstracts on animal experiments, clinical-pathological correlations, or case reports will not be accepted.
All techniques are acceptable.
Studies of the effects of contact lenses, refractive surgery, and laser surgery on corneal structure and function are included. The nature, control and development of eye movements and alignment, including accommodative and pupillary mechanisms, and alignment-related stereopsis. The nature, etiology, diagnosis and treatment of strabismus, amblyopia, and other disorders of eye movements, fusion, and stereopsis. The neuro-ophthalmology of the visual sensory and oculomotor systems, including the orbit and ocular adnexa. In all areas the emphasis may be on either clinical issues or basic research.
