Dear Colleagues,

With great pleasure and great honor I welcome you to the 12th International Congress of Optometry and Vision Science (CIOCV’15).

I would like to share a sincere Thank You to all of you who have been following us: attendees, researchers, sponsors, students, colleagues and friends who make this a growing event with increasing importance and dimension at the  national and international level, making this scientific event a reference.

Once again we are working, investing and taking care of every detail in the scientific, institutional and social programs to transmit new knowledge and information. We are developing a complete and diverse program including topics such as Genetic Therapy in Vision, Optimization of Visual Capabilities, Corneal Dystrophies, among others.

Certain that continuing education contributes to the development of professional skills at the  clinical practice and scientific research, we will do everything to promote professional updating and interaction with other members to further the exchange of experiences and, in a friendly environment, to strengthen your ties and  friendship.

We recommend your attendance as there will be news! Reserve the  25th and the 26th of April of 2015 and the place, you know it, will be in our University of Minho.

Please accept a warm welcome to the 12th International Congress of Optometry and Vision Science!
