The Global Ophthalmology & Vision Science Congress (GOVIS 2026) highlights a comprehensive session on Pediatric and Geriatric Ophthalmology, focusing on age-specific eye care strategies from infancy to older adulthood.
📅 October 26–28, 2026
📍 Boston, Massachusetts, USA & Virtual
🔍 Scientific Overview
Vision
care across the lifespan requires a deep understanding of developmental
biology, aging physiology, and patient-centered risk management. This
session bridges early-life visual development with age-related ocular
conditions to prevent vision loss and improve quality of life.
🧬 Key Focus Areas:
👶 Pediatric Ophthalmology:
- Neonatal eye care: ROP
screening & congenital anomalies
- Myopia control:
orthokeratology & low-dose atropine
- Amblyopia & binocular
vision therapies
- Pediatric cataract &
glaucoma management
- Strabismus evaluation and
surgical planning
- Genetic and metabolic eye
diseases
👴 Geriatric Ophthalmology:
- Cataract and refractive
decision-making
- Age-related macular degeneration
(AMD)
- Diabetic eye disease
monitoring
- Glaucoma management and
adherence
- Polypharmacy and drug
interactions
- Falls prevention and
vision-related independence
🧠 Translational & Clinical Insights
- Early detection through
school screenings and neonatal programs
- Advanced imaging (OCT/OCTA)
for disease monitoring
- Personalized treatment plans
based on age and comorbidities
- Integration of caregivers in
clinical decision-making
⚙️ Lifespan-Based Care Approach
This
session emphasizes:
✔️ Preventing irreversible vision loss in children
✔️ Managing multimorbidity in elderly patients
✔️ Improving adherence and reducing treatment burden
✔️ Enhancing independence through low-vision rehabilitation
💡 Special Highlights
- Myopia epidemic and
preventive strategies
- Keratoconus detection in
adolescents
- Low-vision assistive
technologies and rehabilitation
- Tele-ophthalmology and
community outreach programs
