The NANOS Annual Meeting Collection is an archive that contains the posters, presentations, and other works from the annual meeting of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS), a professional organization of more than 600 members who are fully trained ophthalmologists or neurologists. Contains records from the first meeting in 1975 to the present.

Since 1992, the NANOS Annual Meeting has also included annual meetings with presentations organized by the Frank B. Walsh Society (see our Frank B.

History

The NANOS (North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society) Annual Meeting was originally named the “Annual Rocky Mountain Neuro-Ophthalmology Course”, until the incorporation of NANOS and its first meeting in February, 1980.

Since 1992, the NANOS Annual Meeting has also included annual meetings with presentations organized by the Frank B. Walsh Society, which began meeting in 1969 at The Johns Hopkins University’s Wilmer Eye Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America.

North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS)
