Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO)

ARVO is the largest and most respected eye and vision research organization in the world. Our members include nearly 12,000 researchers from over 75 countries.

ARVO advances research worldwide into understanding the visual system and preventing, treating and curing its disorders.

The ARVO Annual Meeting is the premiere gathering for eye and vision scientists from across the globe, at all career stages, students, and those in affiliated fields to share the latest research findings and collaborate on innovative solutions. For 2024, the Meeting will be hosted May 5 – 9 in Seattle, Wash.

Vision for the future

The theme of the 2024 Annual Meeting addresses how vision research is continually being transformed by new information and technologies. Exponentially expanding computing power is giving rise to improved artificial intelligence and powerful big data. Increasingly sensitive and elegant molecular techniques, including CRISPR and mRNA technologies, as well as more sophisticated imaging modalities, virtual reality, and breakthroughs in gene therapy are catalyzing our research as we aim to treat, cure and ultimately prevent blinding eye diseases.

Join our community May 5 – 9 in Seattle, Wash., for a showcase of new research and the opportunity to network with colleagues and industry thought-leaders.
