[visionlist] CVRS 2013 - latest information and abstract submission reminder!

[Sue Leat]

The XIV Biennial Meeting of the Child Vision Research Society
June 17 to 19, 2013, Ontario, Canada
held at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry & Vision Science and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

This is a reminder that the abstract submission deadline is approaching fast - January 13th 2013.

Presentations already included cover the themes of visual assessment, refractive error, amblyopia, strabismus, visual development of multiple functions, learning disabilities, and visual function in prematurity. Abstracts can fit in these themes, but do not have to be limited by them.

Three keynote speakers are already confirmed for 2013:

  *   Susan Cotter, Professor, Southern California School of Optometry will speak on refractive development and the findings of the MEPED study.
  *   Daphne Maurer, Professor, Department of Psychology, McMaster University will speak on higher level visual development.
  *   Dave Saint-Amour, Professor, Department of Psychology, Université du Québec à Montréal will speak on multisensory integration and amblyopia


The Child Vision Research Society (http://www.cvrsoc.org/) comprises researchers and clinicians from many different countries interested in the development of vision in infancy and childhood under normal and abnormal conditions. A wide range of disciplines, including anatomy, neurology, optometry, ophthalmology, physiology, psychology and rehabilitation are represented in the CVRS.
This is the first time that the CVRS conference will be held in North America and it will bring together delegates from all over the world.  This scientific meeting provides an opportunity for the exchange of new ideas and findings between basic scientists and clinicians concerned with vision in infants and children.
