TOPIC
Colour Vision Deficiency: From Cone Photopigments to Functional Vision Outcomes
SPEAKER
Dr. Angelea (Angel) Perez
Project Director
University of Florida
This presentation explores colour vision deficiency (CVD) as a complex visual processing condition rather than simply “colour blindness.” Topics include retinal physiology, genetics, psychophysics, cortical colour processing, contemporary diagnostic methods, developmental implications, acquired dyschromatopsia in neurologic and retinal disease, and emerging therapeutics including gene therapy. Emphasis is placed on functional vision outcomes, accessibility, neuroplasticity, and translational research. Attendees will gain a systems-level understanding of how chromatic processing influences clinical care, neuro-ophthalmic assessment, education, and future treatment directions in vision science.
