[Katherina Vassilakis]

3rd AEGEAN SUMMER SCHOOL IN VISUAL OPTICS, 27 June - 1 July 2004, Aldemar Olympian Village Hotel, West Pelopennese, Greece



The 3rd Aegean Summer School in Visual Optics is organized by the Ophthalmology Clinic of the University Hospital of Crete, the Vardinoyiannion Eye Institute of the University of Crete (VEIC), in collaboration with the Research Training Network RTN (Sharp Eye)/EU Program.   

The Summer School will focus on the thematic area of visual optics with emphasis on retinal imaging and visual function. Topics of the selected lectures will deal with a wide range of subjects from optics and vision to perception. Participants may be Ophthalmologists, Ophthalmology residents, Physicists, Optometrists, scientists from other Basic Sciences as well as post-graduate students. Members of the Scientific Committee and lecturers are leading authorities in the fields of Ophthalmology and Visual Optics.
