Three of the best posters will be chosen by the organising committee and their authors will be invited to present a 10 minute oral presentation based on their poster and latest results.

As a satellite to the annual meeting of ARVO, the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, we are requested by ARVO, as co-sponsor, to stipulate that you do not present the same work at both the Vision Research conference and the ARVO main meeting. We would appreciate your assistance in complying with this stipulation.
