Eyedaptic Shares Augmented Reality Software Solution for Low Vision at Retina World Congress
With millions of Americans impacted by diminishing vision and retinal disorders, ophthalmologists are keen to find a restorative solution. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss for older individuals, impacting more than 170 million people across the globe. The number of those impacted by AMD is expected to increase significantly in the next several years, due to our increasing aging of the population.
Retina World Congress (RWC) 2019 will be held from Mar 21 – 24, 2019 at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa with attendees including retina specialists and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with retinal diseases.
