Alumni Meeting 2023
On the penultimate weekend of September, the annual alumni meeting of the Aalen Friends of Optometry e.V. took place in the auditorium and lecture hall building of Aalen University. Due to the storm disaster, where hail caused severe damage to the monastery grounds in Benediktbeuern, the event had to be moved to Aalen University at short notice this year. The continuing education weekend was packed with exciting lectures and discussions, some of which were presented by top-class experts in the field of optometry who had traveled from the USA especially for the event.

We celebrated the symposium "Future of Optometry", which was held in German. This was followed by the celebration of the anniversary of the Bachelor and Master programs including the presentation of the Karl Amon Optometry Award at Aalen University. Other highlights were the eulogies to Prof. Diepes and Prof. Dr. Kümmel for their many years of effort.
We want to thank the many top-class speakers who joined the great symposium. We also want to thank the great number of graduates and other friends of the study programs who registered to the remarkable event.
