>'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.
