Overview
The association was established in Washington, D.C., in 1928 as the Association for Research in Ophthalmology (ARO). In May 1970, it was renamed to its current name to reflect its broader scope.{{Cite journal |last=Lichter |first=Paul R. |date=June 1990 |title=Where Clinicians and Scientists Meet |journal=Ophthalmology |language=en |volume=97 |issue=6 |pages=697–698 |doi=10.1016/S0161-6420(13)32521-4}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.guidestar.org/profile/34-0812556 |title=THE ASSOCIATION FOR RESEARCH IN VISION AND OPHTHALMOLOGY |website=GuideStar |access-date=2019-08-03}} As of 2019, it has almost 12,000 members from 75 different countries.

Annual Meetings
Between 1930 and 1971, ARO held an annual meeting, usually as part of some other conference, such as that of the American Medical Association, at which members presented their research.{{cite web |last1=Daniel M Albert, Emily Y Chew, Alice R McPherson |title=A Brief History of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) From its Founding in 1921 until the Modern Era |url=https://www.aao.org/lifetime-engaged-ophthalmologist/perspective/article/brief-history-of-association-research-in-vision |website=American Academy of Ophthalmology |access-date=8 January 2025 |date=21 February 2019}} In 1972, the annual meetings began to be organized by ARVO, and were held in the spring, in Sarasota Florida. In 1995, the meetings moved to Fort Lauderdale until 2013 when the meeting was in various locations including Honolulu and virtually in 2021.{{cite web |title=Annual Meeting full listing |url=https://www.arvo.org/globalassets/annual-meeting/annual-meeting-full-listing.pdf |publisher=The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology |access-date=10 January 2025}}
