Author: The Washington Advisory Group
Date Published: 2005
The fourth in a series of symposia on accelerating the implementation of research results on eye disease was held on June 11-14, 2005, at Rancho Valencia, California. The theme of this Fourth Drabkin Eye Disease Symposium was an exploration of the special challenges and treatment prospects for dealing with the ways in which chronic blinding eye diseases present in subgroups of a heterogeneous population. The diversity of the American population with respect to ethnic and cultural ancestry provided a starting point for considering implications of a heterogeneous population for understanding and treating potentially blinding eye diseases.
