The COMiB attended the annual congress of the RCLSO society. Dr. Erika Ponzini presented her research “The hidden impact of early wear: Detecting the subtle alterations in tear fluid and contact lens hydration”, highlighting how even subtle changes can affect vision quality and contact lens comfort. A valuable opportunity to share scientific results and strengthen dialogue within the optometric community.

Second Congress in Optics and Optometry at the University of Padua
The COMiB took part in the Second Congress in Optics and Optometry hosted by the University of Padua! In the photo: four Master’s students in Optometry and Vision Science from the University of Milano-Bicocca – two from the Bachelor’s program in Milano-Bicocca and two from the Bachelor’s program in Padua – together with one of the congress organizers and the president of the Master’s program in Milano-Bicocca. A valuable opportunity for exchange and growth, strengthening collaboration between universities and highlighting the role of our students in the scientific community.
