Silvia Veitzman

Visiting Scholar/ Clinical Researcher
Degrees: MD, PhD

As a paediatric  opthalmologist I had dedicated my career on preventing childhood blindness. From starting a small program in Sao Paulo, Brasil through the transference of knowhow from  the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and many insitutions from  USA working in close collaboration with expertises in the field  more than 20 reference centers were created  througout the country and Latin America to attend children and their families . Having witnessed how fast the causes of visual loss in children had changed over the years, CVI became my primary focus of interest. At  SKERI, under the orientation of Prof Arvind Chandna at the SeeLab I am having the priviledge  to learn and collaborate with  our team on the development of tools that will certainly speed up the screening and the understanding of CVI.
