SUMMARY:Seeing Beyond the Surface: Ocular and Systemic Insights into Hereditary Connective Tissue Disorders- Dr. Vishwa Jain
DESCRIPTION:Register\nSeeing Beyond the Surface: Ocular and Systemic Insights into Hereditary Connective Tissue Disorders \nPresented by Vishwa Jain\, OD \nSpeaker Bio \nDr. Vishwa Jain is currently a Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation Resident at the SUNY College of Optometry under the mentorship of Dr. Tamara Petrosyan. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Rutgers University and received her Doctor of Optometry degree from SUNY College of Optometry in 2025. Dr. Jain’s clinical interests include binocular vision\, neuro-optometric rehabilitation\, and the visual implications of complex systemic disorders. \nLecture Description \nThis compelling presentation explores the intersection of genetics\, systemic disease\, and visual function through an in-depth review of major hereditary connective tissue disorders. \nAttendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of key conditions such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome\, with focused discussion on their genetic basis\, diagnostic criteria\, systemic findings\, and ocular manifestations. Additional disorders—including osteogenesis imperfecta\, Stickler syndrome\, Alport syndrome\, pseudoxanthoma elasticum\, and Loeys-Dietz syndrome—will be introduced to highlight their distinct clinical features and visual implications. \nSpecial emphasis will be placed on recognizing how these disorders impact ocular health\, binocular vision\, and overall visual performance\, enabling clinicians to identify important signs in practice and develop appropriate management strategies. \nThe lecture also includes selected clinical case discussions that examine the role of vision therapy and rehabilitation in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome\, offering practical insight into treatment considerations and patient care. \nParticipants will leave with enhanced confidence in identifying hallmark features\, understanding visual consequences\, and integrating rehabilitation approaches into clinical decision-making. \nRegister
