Dear Hoover,
Can you please send this out in time for ARVO?
The ARVO Special Interest Group for Scanning Laser Technology will meet this
year on Monday, May 10, 2-4 P.M., room 114. We invite all those interested to
participate in the group discussions. The main theme this year will be
treatment in eye disease: selection of patients for treatment, planning
treatment, evaluation of patients before and after treatment, and providing
objective feedback on the success or failure of the treatment. We will also
have our annual New Technology presentations and discussion. Several speakers
will present topics that should generate a lot of group discussion (see
current
list below). We encourage our colleagues to bring new findings, ideas, and
technical advances to share with the group.
For more information, contact Ann E. Elsner @vision.eri.harvard.edu,
Ronald A.
Schuchard, or Dirk-Uwe Bartsch.
