According to researchers, functional assessments and education are critical to an early diagnosis.

In embryonic stages, tactile stimuli simultaneously activate tactile and visual neural pathways. Shortly after birth, both pathways reorganize to allow separate processing of touch and vision. The change of pathway is facilitated by the activity waves of the retina, which act as railroads that direct the stimuli of each sensory modality to the corresponding cortex, so that we can perceive them separately.

The stated core foundation of the Women in Retina program is that “the best innovations happen when diverse people with different perspectives collaborate.” The program will help ESRS harness these perspectives and challenge the way things are done and allow for them to be done better.
