Dear Colleagues,
it is my great pleasure to present the final program of the 32nd Meeting of the European Strabismological Society held together with the Bielschowsky Gesellschaft, the German Society for Strabismology and Neuroophthalmology, and the BOD, the German Orthoptic Association at the historic assembly hall of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich.
Thanks to your numerous submissions the program committee was able to set up a very interesting program. We have 56 scientific oral presentations and 94 poster presentations as well as the BOD-Session on various aspects of orthoptics and the Bielschowsky Session on aetiopathological aspects of strabismus and motility disorders. Other highlights will be the traditional ESA Lecture given this year by André Roth (Genève), the rapid fire poster presentation and the ESA case presentation. I would like to thank the Program Committee chaired by John Lee for their help.
I hope you will all enjoy the program, come to Munich and join the discussions with ophthalmologists and orthoptists from all over Europe and many countries around the world.
Munich, the capital of Bavaria in southern Germany, can easily be reached from any destination by car, train or air. The City offers many attractions in addition to strabismology: numerous museums, concert and theatre halls, modern and historic architecture, restaurants with local and international cuisine, endless shopping as well as green parks. It is also an ideal starting point for pre and post congress tours to the Bavarian Alps with its lakes, mountains, castles of King Ludwig and many other places.
Welcome and "Grüß Gott!"
Oliver Ehrt
