[visionlist] 4th European Meeting in Physiological Optics (NEW DATES !)

[Harilaos Ginis]

(Important: Dates have changed from previous announcement. )

The Institute of Vision and Optics (IVO) at University of Crete,  
Greece, is pleased to announce the organisation of the 4th European  
Meeting in Visual & Physiological Optics. The meeting plans to build  
upon the very successful predecessors in Wroclaw (1999), Granada  
(2003) and most recently London (2005). Many aspects of Physiological  
and Visual Optics, including basic research, instrumentation and  
clinical studies will be covered with an emphasis on:

·      Refraction and ocular aberrations,
·      Retinal image quality,
·      Scattering in the eye,
·      Crystalline lens and accommodation,
·      Adaptive optics in vision research and ophthalmic imaging,
·      Advances in spectacle, contact lens and intraocular lens design.
