Overview

NOTE: explore the  2024 Annual Meeting here.

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. Walsh Society Collection), which began meeting in 1969 at The Johns Hopkins University’s Wilmer Eye Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America.

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)

The North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS) is a professional organization of about 700 members who are fully trained ophthalmologists or neurologists. It seeks to promote the field of neuro-ophthalmology by supporting all forms of education, encouraging research, fostering clinical expertise and maintaining cordial exchanges.
