Dr Fabrizio Zeri, BCLA Fellow and Global Ambassador, has now been appointed as a member of the Contact Lens & Anterior Eye Editorial Board.
He will be the first editorial member from Italy, which has a growing audience and increasing number of CLAE authors, he will be a valuable addition to the CLAE editorial team.
Fabrizio Zeri presented a paper titled “Adaptation of the cortical visual areas induced by wearing multifocal contact lenses in naïve observers” at the XXI International Society of Contact Lens Research Meeting, 21st-26th August, Porto (Portugal).
This year the Italian Physical Society organizes its 108th National Congress in Milan (12-16 September). Within the framework of Applied physics, a symposium on optometry has been organized (15 September) with the following program:
