EOS Topical Meeting: 5th European Meeting on Visual and Physiological Optics (EMVPO 2010)

The EMVPO conferences gather world leading scientists in visual and physiological optics. The focus is on how the optics of the eye affects vision and on how it may be corrected and improved. The meetings are much appreciated due to the high scientific quality and the informal and intimate atmosphere, which encourages the exchange of new ideas and networking. It is a three-day meeting without parallel sessions and it attracts participants from all over the world.
The conferences are hosted by different European laboratories involved in visual and physiological optics. The first conference was held in Wroclaw, Poland, in 1999 and it is now a biannual conference: Granada, Spain, in 2004, London, UK, in 2006, Heraklion, Greece, in 2008 and now the Visual Optics group at KTH (the Royal Institute of Technology) in collaboration with the European Optical Society is pleased to welcome you to the 5th meeting in Stockholm, Sweden.

This conference will cover many aspects of visual and physiological optics, including clinical studies, basic research, and instrumentation, for example:

• Adaptive optics in the eye
• Cornea
• Crystalline lens and accommodation
• Eye-modeling
• Low vision
• Myopia
• Peripheral eye
• Refraction and ocular aberrations
• Retinal image quality
• Scattering in the eye
• Spectacle, contact, and intraocular lens design
