The XXVI Biennial Meeting of the International Society of Eye Research (ISER) took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October 2024. ISER provides an international platform for eye and vision researchers to discuss and exchange ideas on contemporary topics. In this opportunity, we presented a poster titled “Is contrast sensitivity suitable for early detection of primary open-angle glaucoma?”. This poster showed results of our study on psychophysical contrast sensitivity in suspected primary open-angle glaucoma patients. Our main conclusion is that contrast sensitivity is affected before significant structural changes and visual field defects can be detected. Our study highlights the importance of developing techniques for improving early detection of primary open-angle glaucoma.

We are pleased to have participated in ISER 2024 and especially thank the Asociación de Investigación en Visión y Oftalmología (AIVO) for making it possible for María Constanza Tripolone to attend on this occasion.
