“From Vision to Incision: Ophthalmological Insights from the Trenches” will be presented by Clarkson University Ph.D. student Yaroslav Filipov, at the next Clarkson University Science Cafe at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13, at the Best Western University Inn Rushton Room, 90 E. Main St. in Canton, N.Y., and at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at the St. Lawrence Valley Roasters & Jernabi Coffeehouse, 11 Maple St. in Potsdam, N.Y.
Vision is one of the most amazing of human abilities. In this event, Filipov will discuss several aspects of human eye function, including basic principles of optics and vision, the structure of the eye and nervous system, potential risks and aging conditions (cataracts, presbyopia), and common diseases (myopia, diabetes, glaucoma) and their treatment methods. The speaker is an experienced ophthalmological engineer, enthusiastic about his topic and eager to share his knowledge.
Science Cafes bring together engineers, scientists, and townspeople in a relaxed, informal setting, such as coffeehouses and pubs. The speaker makes a short presentation about a topic in his or her field and then opens up the floor to discussion.
