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 conference is fully dedicated to the vision of infants and children from basic science all the way to patient management, for children with typical and atypical development.

Keynotes are as follows
Susan Cotter (Monday 17th June). "The Multi-Ethnic Pediatric Eye Disease Study: Implications for Clinical Practice".

Daphne Maurer (Tues 18th ) "Critical Periods Re-examined: Evidence from Children Treated for Congenital Cataract".

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.
