Salt Lake City, Utah — Glaucoma continues to be a public health challenge that affects around 4.22 million Americans and remains the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the U.S. Often called the “silent thief of sight”, glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damages the optic nerve, the vital link between the eyes and brain.
Salt Lake City, Utah — If you or someone you know has trouble seeing things far away, you most likely have nearsightedness, also known as myopia. It is a common eye problem which, if not managed, can lead to serious issues like glaucoma, vision loss or blindness. The number of people with myopia is on the rise, with experts predicting that nearly half the world could be myopic by 2050.
Transformative research offering fresh insights and treatment advancements for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in adults over age 50, will be among the highlights showcased from May 4 - 8 at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s (ARVO) 2025 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
From May 4 - 8, more than 8,000 scientists will gather at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s (ARVO) 2025 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, to share the latest discoveries in eye and vision research. Many studies being presented focus on the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that captures the images people see and sends signals to the brain so that people can see and understand the world around them.
