Then plan to tend the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) meeting in 2021, which will be held in San Francisco from May 2-6. Innovation and advanced technologies have fostered signiﬁcant discoveries in eye research in the last decade, rivaling those in any discipline.

With an eye on monitoring COVID-19 and its eect on in-person gatherings, ARVO is planning to deliver its 2021 meeting in a hybrid format, with both in-person and virtual options for presenters and attendees. Here’s a look at some highlights you can expect during this seminal conference, as described by ARVO:
