Call for Abstracts – Academy 2017 Chicago Scientific Program

Submission of abstracts is now open for the Academy 2017 Chicago conference, to be held Wednesday, October 11 through Saturday, October 14.

The Academy’s Scientific Program offers scientists, educators, and clinicians the opportunity to exchange the latest information in optometry and vision science in two formats: research paper presentations and scientific posters.

The abstract submission window will be open from May 1 through May 31, 2017. Presentations from students and residents will also be considered. First authors of accepted papers or posters can register for Academy 2017 Chicago at reduced rates.

“The annual meeting of the Academy is a great forum to showcase your recent scientific and clinical findings in optometry and vision science, and we encourage authors to submit abstracts for both oral and poster presentations,” remarked Suresh Viswanathan, MS, PhD, FAAO, Chair of the Scientific Program Committee.
