Stanford Optic Disc Drusen Symposium

Tuesday, May 31, 2022, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Stanford, CA

The Stanford Optic Disc Drusen Symposium will provide an overview of clinical and scientific research on optic disc drusen, an optic neuropathy characterized by calcified deposits at the unmyelinated optic nerve that can cause irreversible vision loss by interrupting signal transmission between the eye and the brain. This activity will feature expert panel discussions, patient discussion, and a poster session featuring Stanford optic nerve and retinal ganglion cell research (in person only).
