About IVSC
Welcome to India Vision Science Colloquium 2026 - a conference dedicated to the latest advancements in vision science research! The event will be a two-day virtual meeting on Monday, 14 December and Tuesday, 15 December 2026, bringing together leading researchers in developing cutting-edge innovations in optometry & vision science. IVSC 2026 is conducted in collaboration with the International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIIT-H)
India Vision Science Colloquium (IVSC), previously known and promoted as ResMeet is a curated academic and innovation-focused in-person meeting that aims to bring together a select group of distinguished researchers, educators, and innovators from the field of Optometry, Vision science, and related disciplines especially Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. This two-day event is designed as an exclusive platform for presenting new research. IVSC is a gathering to share cutting-edge research findings, insights, and best practices, sharing transformative ideas, and fostering meaningful collaborations that will shape the future of eye and vision care in India. The event will feature keynote addresses, concurrent research presentation sessions, and networking opportunities.

-
A conflict of interest exists if financial interests or other opportunities for tangible personal benefit may exert a substantial and improper influence on a researcher's professional judgment in designing, conducting, or reporting research. A conflict of interest is not an accusation and does not imply that a researcher's judgment has been compromised. The following types of situations describe conflicts of interest that should be disclosed in your presentation.
Ethical and Regulatory Requirements for Research
-
Research involving human subjects must have been conducted in accordance with the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki and with adherence to any applicable national and local human subjects research requirements. Consistent with the National Institutes of Health guidelines, if the number of human subjects in the study exceeds three, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval must be obtained. The authors cannot automatically assume that certain studies are exempt from IRB review. Only an IRB can determine if a specific study fulfills the exempt status.
-
Research involving the use of animals must be conducted in accordance with international standards for animal treatment and care (e.g., the Society of Neurosciences and ARVO statements on the use of animals in research) as well as any applicable regulatory requirements. If the work submitted involves the use of animals, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approval must have been obtained.
-
Failure to conform to the above ethical standards may result in loss of privileges for all listed authors to submit abstracts or proposals to subsequent meetings.
Images: The Images must be in High Resolution JPEG with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi and a file size of 1MB.
