European Academy of Optometry and Optics meeting in Dublin
Dr Keziah Latham
Our Department of Vision and Hearing Sciences and the Vision and Eye Research Unit (VERU) were well represented at the Dublin meeting of the European Academy of Optometry and Optics.
The meeting, held from 20-22 April 2012, brought together key decision-makers, influencers, educators, researchers and students from across Europe to discuss and share the latest research and best practice related to vision sciences.
Themes for the event were education, research and clinical practice.
Dr Keziah Latham and Dr Sheila Rae both presented talks at the meeting.
Keziah's talk was entitled 'Factors associated with adjustment to visual loss', and Sheila's, 'Accommodative accuracy with printed text versus hand-held computer gaming'.
In addition to the talks, a number of research posters from VERU and Vision and Hearing Sciences were presented to delegates.
Robert Conway presented 'Variation in visual acuity measurement at different viewing distances: a comparison of results with two different chart designs'. Sarah Lalor presented 'Where should bars be to produce optimal crowding effects, using children's acuity letters, pictures and symbols?', and Dr Sheila Rae presented 'Assessing visual acuities at near distance with letter and symbol charts: effect of chart type and defocus'.
