Holographic displays, robots that assist people during eye examinations, visual field testing performed with a common smartphone: a window to the future was opened during ARVO 2018, an annual event, which – inaugurated on April 29th – ended on May 2nd in Honolulu, Hawaii (U.S.A.). Speakers from all over the world, including researchers with an innovative approach, met with a wide range of experts. The Director of the Italian National Centre for Vision Rehabilitation, Dr. Filippo Amore, also took part in the meeting, presenting research conducted with a futuristic visual device which has been conceived for the visually impaired.
