ConferenceSeries Ltd welcomes participants from all over the globe to attend Ophthalmology Congress 2016 during December 05-06, 2016 at Madrid, Spain which includes prompt keynote presentations, Oral talks, Poster presentations and Exhibitions.
Track 1: Retina &its Disorder
Retina is a layer of tissue in the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. The main organ in eye which is also the main part of Ophthalmological study is Retina. Many studies are going on this topic in the American academy of ophthalmology. In the centre of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail. It processes light through a layer of photoreceptor cells. These are essentially light-sensitive cells, responsible for detecting qualities such as colour and light-intensity. Due to the retina's vital role in vision, damage to it can cause permanent blindness and some ophthalmological disorders. As retinal disorders affect this vital tissue they can affect your vision, and some can be serious enough to cause blindness. Some of them like Macular edema which destroys our sharp, central vision. Retinal Detachment which is a medical emergency, when retina is pulled away from back of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy affects blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue called the retina that lines the back of the eye. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the physical disturbance of the centre of the retina called the macula. So treatment of these disorders on time is very important task.

Track 2: Cornea its Disorders and Treatments
Cornea is the eye’s outermost layer. It is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. It helps to shield the rest of the eye from germs, dust, and other harmful matter. The cornea shares this protective task with the eyelids, the eye socket, tears, and the white part of the eye (sclera). Cornea acts as the eye’s outermost lens. It functions like a window that controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye. The cornea contributes between 65-75 per cent of the eye’s total focusing power. Some diseases that affect cornea are like, Corneal is a condition in which one or more parts of the cornea lose their normal clarity due to a build up of cloudy material. There are many ophthalmology conferences going on for this topic. For treating these disorders some methods are like topography and keratometry (to study the shape of the cornea), pachymetry (to measure the thickness of the cornea), specialized microscopy, assessment of the tear film, and blood tests are developed in the field of Ophthalmology.

Track 3: Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye 's optic nerve and gets worse over time. It's often associated with a build up of pressure inside the eye. The increased pressure, called intraocular pressure, can damage the optic nerve, which transmits images to the brain. If damage to the optic nerve from high eye pressure continues, glaucoma will cause permanent loss of vision. There are several types of glaucoma. The two main types are open-angle and angle-closure. These are marked by an increase of intraocular pressure (IOP), or pressure inside the eye. There are methods for the treatment of open angle glaucoma is Trabeuculoplasty and for Angle Closure glaucoma is Laser Peripheral Iridotomy & Endothelia, a potent vasoconstrictor, is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy.

Track 4: Ophthalmology Surgery
Ophthalmologists manage patients with minor and major eye injuries, patients with long term diseases of the eye. They undertake surgery of the eye, which is usually performed with the aid of an operating microscope and may involve lasers. These are undertaken by the AAO association. These all techniques used to perform surgical methods also known as Optometry. In the field of Ophthalmology, ophthalmologists carry out some surgeries like Cataract surgery-Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of your eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. Cataract surgery is used to treat the clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye (cataract), Oculoplastic surgery- involves the management of the eyelids, tear ducts and re-constructive surgery, Refractive surgery - is a method for correcting or improving your vision. The most widely performed type of refractive surgery is LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), where a laser is used to reshape the cornea. There are various benefits for ophthalmology surgery discussed in the world ophthalmology congress.

Track 5: Ocular Microbiology
Many opportunistic pathogenic agents are increasingly encountered in ocular infections due to widespread use of topical and systemic immunosuppressive agents, increasing numbers of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and with organ transplants who are on immunosuppressive therapy. There are various ophthalmic conferences held on with the help of the AAO association.. These opportunistic pathogens also cause ocular infections due to increased use of contact lens .Some viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi that can invade the human body are also capable of attacking the surface or interior of the eye. The natural tendency for ophthalmic immunologic disease to affect the eye derives from a number of factors such as Antibody-dependent & antibody-mediated diseases, Uveitis, intraocular inflammation and cell-mediated diseases.

Track 6: Ocular Oncology
Cancer can develop in several structures in the eye area. It occurs when healthy cells in or around the eye change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumour which was discussed in the ophthalmology meeting. A tumour can be benign or cancerous. A benign tumour means the tumour can grow but will not spread. A cancerous tumour is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer that forms in the eyeball is called an intraocular (inside the eye) malignancy. This includes types like retinoblastoma, which is the most frequent type of cancer affecting the eyeball in children, Ophthalmologic cancer, in which if it affects inner part of the eye intraocular. And those affecting the outside of the eye are extra ocular. Ophthalmologic Cancers can be treated by Chemotherapy, drug can be injected into the eye or they can be injected into a vein making this treatment very useful for cancers that have spread. Chemo can be useful for treating intraocular (eye) lymphoma, but it is used less often for intraocular melanoma.

Track 7: Ophthalmic Disorders
Eye is composed of very sensitive and fragile tissues and every part of an eye serves its own function to maintain its normal vision. There are several eye problems that are more common among people as they age, although they can affect anyone at any age. Usually these disorders can cause due to many reasons. These ophthalmological problems include Cataracts which are cloudy areas that develop within the eye lens. Conjunctivitis, a condition in which the tissue that lines the eyelids and covers the cornea becomes inflamed. Colour blindness is not actually blindness in the true sense but rather is a colour vision deficiency in which people who are affected by it simply do not agree with most other people about colour matching. Eye allergies may cause redness, itchy, and watery of eyes and eyelids may even be inflamed. Various ophthalmology associations have been studying these disorders.

Track 8: Paediatric Ophthalmology
Paediatric ophthalmology is a sub-speciality of ophthalmology concerned with eye disorders, visual development, and vision care in children. American ophthalmology has been concentrated on this. Paediatric ophthalmic treatment involves the medical and surgical management of strabismus, amblyopia, genetic and developmental abnormalities and a wide range of inflammatory, traumatic and neoplastic conditions occurring in the first two decades of life. Children experience a variety of eye problems, many quite distinct from adult eye diseases. Paediatric ophthalmologists are specially trained to manage these disorders. This subspecialty also deals with the ocular manifestations of certain systemic disorders. In this session common eye disorders, symptoms, screening and treatment of paediatric eye diseases will be discussed.

Track 9: Neuro Ophthalmology
Neuro-ophthalmology is the incorporation of neurology and ophthalmology, often dealing with complex systemic diseases that have manifestations in the visual system. This Neuro ophthalmology had been disscuseed in the American ophthalmology conferences. Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) includes all visual dysfunctions caused by damage to, or malfunctioning of, the retrochiasmatic visual pathways in the absence of damage to the anterior visual pathways or any major ocular disease. Diplopia, or double vision, is a condition of neuro ophthalmology where a single object is seen in duplicate. Double and blurred visions are often thought to be the same, but they are not. In blurred vision, a single image seen by one eye appears unclear. Myasthenia Gravis is one of the neuromuscular disorders that are characterized by fluctuating weakness of the voluntary muscle groups. The prevalence of MG in the United States is estimated to be about 20/100,000 population. Our neuro-ophthalmologists evaluate and treat patients who have reduced vision, blind spots owing to disorders of the optic nerve and its connections to the brain, subnormal vision that is not explained by abnormalities of the eyes, double vision, abnormalities of the pupils, and droopy eyelids.

Track 10: Advanced Ophthalmological Care
Vision problems are common and affect everyone from infants to senior citizens. Proper eye care and eye wear at every stage in life are very important in order to see clearly and prevent future ophthalmological health issues. People are prone to ultraviolet rays from the sun and the harmful impact ultraviolet rays can have on eyes if protective eye wear such as sunglasses are not used. Usually contact lens are used which is a thin lens placed directly on the surface of the eye. Contact lenses are considered medical devices and can be worn to correct vision so for these many reasons advanced eye care techniques have been developed like Implantable Contact lenses, RGP contact lenses. Advanced ophthalmological care is being undertaken by the AAO congress.

Track 11: Optometry and Vision Science
Optometry and Vision Science deals with the current developments in optometry, visual optics, and vision science. Artificial Vision and Ecology of Colour deals with the latest developments in retinal implants; a type that stimulates the retina with electrodes also called an artificial retina. Biomedical Optics and Ophthalmic Lasers help in the development of optical systems for medical diagnostic applications and the studies on the optics of the eye. Visual Neuroscience session concentrates on understanding neural activity results in visual perception. Refractive Error and Physiological Optics session deals with the basic questions on the contemporary research in optometry and its physiological aspects. Binocular Vision & Vision therapy cannot be treated with glasses, contact lenses or patching. This session discusses the various sets of visual therapeutics given to those with binocular.

Track 12: Orbital Disorders
Orbit, is which protects, supports, and maximizes the function of the eye, is shaped like a quadrilateral pyramid, with its base in plane with the orbital rim. Seven bones conjoin to form the orbital structure. Any or all of the structures within the orbit may become inflamed because of a body wide inflammatory disorder or an inflammatory disorder that affects only the eye which was described in the AAO 2016.. Orbital inflammation is a benign, non-infective clinical syndrome in Ophthalmology characterized by inflammation of the orbit without identifiable local or systemic disorders. Orbital is an infection of the soft tissues of the orbit posterior to the orbital septum. As many as 11% of cases of orbital cellulitis result in visual loss.

Track 13: Eye Floater and Vision
Eye floaters are deposits or condensation in the vitreous, the material that fills the posterior part of the eye. People use the term eye floaters to describe seeing floating spots within their vision when they look around. Eye floaters may be present in only one eye or both eyes. Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. Microscopic fibres within the vitreous tend to clump and can cast tiny shadows on your retina, which appear to you as floaters. The clear vitreous gel which completely fills the back of the eye earlier in life decreases in size and no longer can fill this space…. it pulls away from the retina and it is often the areas of previous attachment to the retina which are seen as floaters as they now float freely in the vitreous gel. This is one of the major topic in the ophthalmology conferences.

Track 14: Ophthalmic Drug Delivery
Advances in ophthalmic drug delivery systems such as Ocular Therapeutic, Mati therapeutics (QLT) and gel-forming drops can be breakthrough in ophthalmic research and advance ophthalmic drug delivery system to maximize the therapeutic effect of a particular drug. Topical combination of corticosteroid & anti-infective agents, Drugs used in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis, Oral & topical no steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) and Retinoblastoma chemotherapy are few developed formulation to treat ophthalmic diseases. Some drug delivery systems like polymeric gels, colloidal systems, and cyclodextrins and collagen shields can be used in ophthalmic system. Combination of drug delivery systems could open a new directive for improving results and the therapeutic response of non-efficacious systems in Ophthalmology.

Track 15: Ophthalmology Practice
As the world becomes more complex and knowledge in every field becomes more extensive and detailed, it’s increasingly difficult to master everything in any one area. This is certainly true in the field of ophthalmology, which is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the recent trend towards specialization. However, this is only one of many factors contributing to the shift. Today, the multitude of pressures affecting ophthalmologists in general—and comprehensive ophthalmologists in particular has become so oppressive that many doctors wonder whether comprehensive ophthalmology can survive.

Ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians all provide eye care services. It is important to understand what each of the "three Os" is qualified to do.
Ophthalmologists
An ophthalmologist is a physician (doctor of medicine, MD, or doctor of osteopathy, DO) who specializes in the medical and surgical care of the eyes and visual system and in the prevention of eye disease and injury. An ophthalmologist has completed four or more years of college premedical education, four or more years of medical school, one year of internship and three or more years of specialized medical and surgical and refractive training and experience in eye care. An ophthalmologist is a specialist who is qualified by lengthy medical education, training and experience to diagnose, treat and manage all eye and visual systems and is licensed by a state regulatory board to practice medicine and surgery. An ophthalmologist is a medically trained specialist who can deliver total eye care: primary, secondary and tertiary (i.e., vision services, contact lenses, eye examinations, medical eye care and surgical eye care), diagnose general diseases of the body and treat ocular manifestations of systemic diseases.
Optometrists
An optometrist is a health service provider who is involved primarily with vision problems. Optometrists are specifically educated and trained by an accredited optometry college in a four year course, but have not attended medical school. They are state licensed to examine the eyes and to determine the presence of vision problems. Optometrists determine visual acuity and prescribe spectacles, contact lenses and eye exercises. Optometrists may perform all services listed under the definition of an optician. Some states permit optometrists to give limited treatments of some eye conditions.
Opticians
An optician is a technician who makes, verifies and delivers lenses, frames and other specially fabricated optical devices and/or contact lenses upon prescription to the intended wearer. The opticians' functions include prescription analysis and interpretation; determination of the lens forms best suited to the wearers needs; the preparation and delivery of work orders for the grinding of lenses and the fabrication of eye wear, the verification of the finished ophthalmic products; and the adjustment, replacement, REPAIR and reproduction of previously prepared ophthalmic lenses, frames and other specially fabricated ophthalmic devices.

Retinal disorders, optic atrophy, and lesions of the higher visual pathways are the main anatomical causes of visual loss in children. WHO reports that, 285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 have low vision. About 90% of the world’s visually impaired live in low-income settings 82% of people living with blindness are aged 50 and above. Globally, uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of moderate and severe visual impairment; cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness in middle- and low-income countries. Many European associations are involved in Ophthalmology and many eye banks are actively promoting the donation of eyes in Europe, addressing a gap in the ophthalmic market, the global ophthalmic market was valued at $10.3 billion in 2010 and is estimated to reach $13.2 billion in 2017.
