HAVOC
Houston Area Visual Optics journal Club
Welcome to the HAVOC
website! Our journal club discusses recent papers, research, or
research-related problems associated with all areas of visual optics, including
wave aberrations and image quality in the eye, accommodation, refractive
development, refractive correction, ophthalmic optics and instrumentation, and
new approaches to retinal imaging. Meetings are informal, but typically one
person leads the discussion of a paper or their research for each meeting.
These meeting can also be used to practice upcoming conference presentations
and to debrief recent conferences/meetings. Anyone who is interested is
encouraged to attend. General meeting details are as follow:
DAY: Wednesday (beginning September 17)
TIME: 5:30 pm
LOCATION: UHCO
