Retina research is on a roll: the first gene therapy for a congenital retina disease is on the market. New methods in medical imaging allow ever-deeper insights into the progress of AMD. International speakers will talk about the latest developments in diagnostics, therapy, and classification at this English-language symposium.
Vision tests, medical opinions and visual aid prescriptions are based on the concept of visual acuity. Yet test strategies and ophthalmological chart differ, so that visual acuity test results are often not completely comparable. In this year’s Albrecht von Graefe Lecture, Professor Dr. Michael Bach presents the new, objective test method he developed.
