Engineering the Eye III
Benasque, Spain
2011, Jun 09 -- Jun 13

Organizers:
P. Artal (U. Murcia)
D. R. Williams (U. Rochester, USA)
C. Dainty (U. National, Ireland)

'Engineering the Eye III' is a high quality and unique scientific 
meeting dealing with aspects of the Physics and Engineering of the 
human eye. This meeting is the third in a series that started in 
Rochester (USA) in 2002 and in Galway (Ireland) in 2006. In this 
meeting, we shall focus on new results and techniques in imaging 
technology and optics of vision. The format of the meeting is a 
series of invited lectures with ample time for discussion and 
interaction. Young researchers and doctoral students will present 
their research in poster format. The interaction of basic science and 
cutting edge technology to develop future solutions for better vision 
will be at the center of the workshop. Leading world scientists in 
this field confirmed their participation assuring that this would be 
an excellent meeting in a remarkable location in Benasque, the Aragon 
Pyrenees.
