Abstract
The Imaging and Perimetry Society’s 20th International Symposium was held between the 22 and 25 of January 2012 at the University of Melbourne (VIC, Australia). It is a well-established bi-annual international meeting, which focuses on methods for quantifying localized damage to the retina in diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. These methods are critical to the diagnosis and management of these diseases. Attendees have backgrounds ranging from ophthalmology and psychology, to optical physics and statistics.
