This was a friendly one-day meeting held at the new Optometry and Vision Sciences facilities at the University of Bradford. We welcomed submissions from all areas of applied research in human and animal vision such as clinical, computational, perceptual and occupational. Registration and posters opened at 10:30 am. The meeting ended at around 4:30 pm with a drinks reception afterwards followed by a visit to the amazing sensory exhibit wonderlab at the National Science and Media Museum and optional dinner in one of the excellent local curry restaurants, click for detailed programme and abstracts.
