| 4.3.2025 EOVS: Electrophysiology / physiological Optics / Vision Sciences | Co-organisers: Omar Mahroo and Anthony Robson Speakers: Anthony Robson Magella Neveu Dorothy Thompson Gordon Plant Omar Mahroo |
Clinical Applications of Electrophysiology: Genotype-phenotype Correlations and Case-based Examples In this session, insights from applications of electrophysiology in the clinical context will be discussed. These will include genotype-phenotype correlations in rare inherited eye diseases (of increasing importance in the era of new therapies) and case-based examples of clinical diagnostic dilemmas wherein electrophysiological tests were instrumental in securing the diagnosis. The speakers are leading scientists and clinicians with decades of experience in the clinical and/or scientific application of visual electrophysiology. The symposium will be of particular interest to clinicians who wonder how electrophysiology might fit into the optimal clinical management of patients in 2025 and beyond. Co-organisers: Omar Mahroo and Anthony Robson 90 min: Speaker 1: Anthony Robson: Teenage cavities |
