Reduced Registration Policy
The Vision Sciences Society is committed to assist with costs of registration for researchers from countries with limited access to research support. As a policy, the Vision Sciences Society uses published data from the World Bank and from the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on countries’ Gross Domestic Expenditure in Research and Development to determine whether researchers qualify for reduced registration. Please contact the VSS administrator, Shauney Wilson, if you would like to request reduced registration on this basis.
Registration Refund Policy
Registration fees are refundable through April 1, 2026, minus a $50 handling fee. Registration fees are not refundable after April 1, 2026.
To request a registration refund, email us at vss@visionsciences.org.
