Optical Coherence Tomography – Celebrating its Transformative Impact on Eye Care and Beyond

March 18, 2024 - March 19, 2024
Bethesda, MD

If you require reasonable accommodations to participate in this event, please contact the National Eye Institute at neinews@mail.nih.gov.


Recently, the 2023 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award was awarded to James Fujimoto, David Huang, and Eric Swanson for their invention of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a technique that has revolutionized ocular health care.

In recognition of this honor and to celebrate the impact of OCT in vision health and research, the National Eye Institute is hosting a scientific symposium, March 18-19, 2024, at the NIH campus in Bethesda.

The program will feature lectures and discussion on a diverse range of topics highlighting current and emerging OCT applications in both research and clinical settings.
