​Pediatric Ophthalmology Updates: Earlier Detection, Earlier Referrals, New Technologies and Strategies
Abstract & Presentation Download
Linda Lawrence, M.D., established in 1986 a solo, private practice in comprehensive ophthalmology with pediatric emphasis in Salina, Kansas, USA.
 
Since 1992, she performs functional vision assessment in the early intervention, Part C program, at Salina Regional Health Center, Kansas, and has documented the high rate of undiagnosed ocular pathology in infants and toddlers with developmental disabilities, and advocated for earlier detection and interventions. She performs outreach services with the Kansas State School for the Blind and is a volunteer consultant for Centro Ann Sullivan del Peru (CASP) in Lima, Peru, an educational NGO for students with neuro-developmental disabilities.
 
Dr. Lawrence has been an invited speaker to many USA and international meetings, and trains trainers in the area of early intervention for infants and toddlers with low vision and multiple disabilities including local, national, and international teams in Brazil, Peru, India, Nigeria and the Middle East.
 
She volunteers for ORBIS, and is Volunteer Assistant Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology, University of Kansas. She coauthored a book chapter on Pediatric Low Vision.  She is a Fellow of the AAO (American Academy of Ophthalmology) and AAPOS member (American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus), chairing the AAPOS committee on Pediatric Low Vision Rehabilitation, former chair of the AAO committee on Global Education and Outreach, and current member of AAO Low Vision Rehabilitation Committee. She worked with the WHO International Consensus scientific committee helping to develop the International Low Vision Rehabilitation Standards (including birth to three years). She has consulted as a volunteer with CDC on the congenital Zika syndrome.
 
Dr. Lawrence was honored by the AAO with the International Humanitarian Services Award in 2009 for her volunteer work in Kansas, and internationally. She has received the achievement award from AAPOS 2017, the Senior Achievement Award from the AAO, and the AAO Secretariat Award in 2018.
