[visionlist] New ARVO Education Course “Night Vision in Aging, AMD, and Beyond”

[Owsley, Cynthia]

ARVO has organized a new course of interest to Vision List subscribers through its ARVOLearn Educational Course program.

Just released on the ARVO website on-demand is the following course:

Night Vision in Aging, AMD, and Beyond:  Basic and Clinical Aspects

Course Organizers:  Christine A. Curcio, PhD, FARVO, University of Alabama at Birmingham and Cynthia Owsley, PhD, MSPH, FARVO, University of Alabama at Birmingham

Summary:
An important characteristic of vision in aging and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is that rod photoreceptors are affected earlier and more severely than are cones. Learn from experts about the physiologic basis of rod-mediated vision and how to test, interpret, and contextualize rod vision in patients and study subjects. Investigators studying patients and model systems alike will benefit from up-to-date information on human visual neuroscience, visual function and retinal structure in aging and AMD.
