The ranking list of “Giulio Velati” Prize 2025-2026 is now available online.
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.
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.
The prizes are for students with an Italian Bachelor’s degree in Optics and Optometry who are enrolled in the first year of the Master’s program in Optometry and Vision Science at the University of Milano-Bicocca for the 2025-2026 academic year.
The award is established in memory of Giulio Velati, a pioneer of optometry in Italy.
On September 29, 2025, the University of Milano-Bicocca appointed Professor Fabrizio Zeri as Associate Professor (second tier) in the scientific-disciplinary sector PHYS-06/A – Physics for Life Sciences, the Environment, and Cultural Heritage.
This marks the first time that an Italian university, 25 years after the establishment of the first degree program in Optics and Optometry, has created an associate professorship dedicated to research in the field of optometry and contact lenses—an area in which Professor Zeri has been a pioneer, recognized internationally.
This academic recognition represents a historic step forward for optometric education in Italy.
