Optica Fall Vision Meeting

September 24-27 2026
University of Rochester, Rochester, NY

Registration and Abstract Submission are now open! The abstract submission deadline is July 15, 2026.

The Fall Vision Meeting is a small, high quality, international meeting linked to Optica, covering a range of topics in vision science with an emphasis on visual neuroscience, optics and psychophysics.  The small and focused nature of the meeting and its single-track format, foster active discussion and often forge friendships and collaborations. There are four invited sessions with panel discussions, chosen by the Fall Vision Meeting Planning Committee each year to highlight important topics.  Contributed talk sessions and posters provide further opportunities for interaction and new perspectives in the field, with submissions welcome on any topic in vision science. Keynote lectures are from the Tillyer Awardee and Boynton Lecturer. A reception and a group dinner highlight the social nature of this meeting.

We hope to see you in Rochester in 2026! 

The meeting is co-located with the Optica meeting ‘Frontiers in Optics’ (FiO), taking place in Rochester immediately after the Fall Vision Meeting. Optica members attending FiO or The Fall Vision meeting receive one free day at the other meeting, without additional registration costs.
