[visionlist] Engineering the Eye II: Imaging the Retina

[Sara Peterson]

Engineering the Eye II: Imaging the Retina
June 19-21, 2006
National University of Ireland, Galway

Co-organized by Applied Optics, Department of Experimental Physics, 
National University of Ireland, Galway & Center for Visual Science, 
University of Rochester

This conference will bring together scientists engaged in the 
discovery of retinal function, clinical researchers engaged in the 
understanding and treatment of retinal disease, and engineers with 
expertise in advanced optical techniques in retinal imaging. Advances 
in the technology of optical imaging in the eye, such as optical 
coherence tomography (OCT), scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, two-photon 
and fluorescence imaging, and adaptive optics have opened up new 
opportunities to advance our understanding of retinal function and 
disease, and allowed new diagnostic techniques to be developed.

By bringing scientists working in these related fields together for 
the first time in a concentrated workshop environment, we hope to 
stimulate new collaborations and progress, particularly in our 
understanding of how new technology might accelerate our scientific 
understanding of normal retina and retinal disease. The format of the 
conference - 3 plenary papers, 20 invited talks, Evening Discussion 
Sessions and a poster session, with plenty of time for formal and 
informal discussions - is designed to encourage debate at the very 
highest level, and the speakers are all recognised as leaders in 
their speciality. We aim to make a real impact on progress in this 
field.
