EAOO and the Aalen part-time Master’s degree Vision Science and Business (Optometry): that fits
Thank you for this amazing and inspiring EAOO meeting 2026 in Riga. It was such a unique experience with a truly warm, almost family-like atmosphere. A very special thank you to Prof. Dr. Aiga Švede and her wonderful, enthusiastic and extremely supportive team around Karola Panke and Marta from the University of Latvia – you made this EAOO 2026 event unforgettable. And many thanks to Nils Purins for his patience with all of us and for all the fantastic photos for these posts.
