Dear Colleagues:
I am writing regarding the second meeting of the North American
Perimetric Society (NAPS) which will take place on July 11-13, 1997 in San
Rafael, CA.
NAPS is a society dedicated to the dissemination and discussion of
research in clinical psychophysics with an emphasis on perimetry. The
society was formed under the auspices of the International Perimetric
Society, however membership to NAPS is not restricted to that of the
International Perimetric Society. There are also no geographical
restrictions on the membership and currently there is no membership fee.
Meetings take place, every second year, on alternate years to the
International Perimetric Society meetings. Meetings are theme-oriented
with in-depth focus on specific topics.
Below you will find a brief meeting announcement. If you would
like further information on NAPS, registration or submitting an abstract,
please do not hesitate to contact either Chris Johnson or me at the
addresses below.
With kindest regards,
Balwantray C. Chauhan
