The Art of Vision

25th November 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

An art exhibition celebrating the beauty of eyes and vision will be open to the public in the Foyer of the Peter Froggatt Centre, in Queen’s University Belfast.

The exhibition will include images captured during research studies conducted within QUB and by their collaborators. Images from the Belfast Ophthalmic Reading Centre and Lengyel Lab (CEM) and other collaborators will be framed and displayed. Images will include pictures of the eye and visual system and scientific images of micro-structures of the eye. Each image will be accompanied by a short description of the image and research study and there will be a number of stands where people can learn more about vision and eyes with interactive materials. Researchers from the studies will be at the event to discuss the studies and raise awareness of the importance of vision and vision research and how it impacts on the wider community.

Professor Tunde Peto (Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology, QUB) will be leading the event and speakers from her team, the Lengyel Lab and others from ophthalmology will also be on hand.
