Please plan to attend an exciting series of Vision Science Research Seminars presented in the School of Optometry at the University of Waterloo. We have invited a list of speakers with international reputations. The seminar topics will range from basic vision science to clinical trials. Seminars are planned for Friday afternoons at 3:30pm, with a reception following the talk to stimulate social interaction between the speaker, faculty, students and our guests. The Vision Science research program is very active with over 20 Faculty and over 55 graduate students and has been in operation for over 25 years.
