One of the key lecture topics at the Winter School will focus on the prevention and risk factors of myopia in young people. The lecture will cover how environmental factors, such as excessive screen time and limited outdoor activity, contribute to the rising prevalence of myopia among adolescents. Additionally, the lecture will also explore genetic predispositions, lifestyle habits, and preventive measures, including regular eye exams and strategies to reduce eye strain, to help mitigate the risk of myopia development in youth.
There will also be a workshop on the application of artificial intelligence in audiology diagnostics.
Participants of the Winter School will also have the opportunity to visit the audiology laboratory and optometry laboratory. These visits will provide a unique hands-on experience, allowing attendees to explore the latest technology and techniques used in the assessment and measurement of vision and auditory functions. The audiology laboratory will offer insights into sound isolation techniques and its applications in hearing research, while the optometry lab will showcase advanced tools used in eye care and myopia management. |
