The Norwegian Association of Aniridia is organising the First European Conference on aniridia. It will take place in Oslo (Norway) on 8-10 June 2012. Aniridia is a congenital rare disease, causing low vision and many associated eye conditions and sporadic disorders in other organs of the body. Promotion of research on this pathology is one of the key goals of this conference, as well as increasing and exchanging scientific knowledge on aniridia, fostering the development of patient registries, European guidelines of good practice and designation of expert hospital or clinic units. During the conference an Eye Clinic will be held where patients can get a second opinion on their condition from experts. In order to encourage the attendance of health professionals Aniridia Norway will subsidize and facilitate the participation of health professionals, especially young doctors.
