Guest speakers will include Dr. Ann Ostrovsky MD, a cornea specialist from the NYU/Langone Medical Center in New York City, and Dr. Donny Suh MD, chief of pediatric ophthalmology at Gavin Herbert Eye Institute at the University of California, Irvine. Both have extensive experience treating patients with Down syndrome. You’ll also hear from John Croninof John’s Crazy Socks, who will discuss his experience with the process over the last few months and how his treatment is going.

This webinar will give an overview of eye and vision conditions, with a focus on keratoconus, a condition that affects members of the Down syndrome community in great numbers.
