29th European Strabismological Association Meeting: Transactions, Izmir, June 1-4, 2004 PDF

Preface

The 29th ESA meeting took place in Izmir, Turkey, from June 1–4, 2004. The organising committee under the inspiring leadership of Prof. Dr. Seyhan B. Ozkan performed an excellent job. In Izmir and the nearby Ephesus we had an unforgettable strabismus meeting, with an absolute highlight: the special open-air lecture on the History of Strabismology by Gunter K. von Noorden in the Ephesus Antique Theater with a spectacular sunset postponing the lecture for an hour, followed by a great performance of the State Folk Dance Ensemble. The icing on the cake was the gala diner under a full moon in the Celsius Library.

I would like to thank all authors who delivered their transactions in time. I am grateful to the Council and Members of the ESA for having me selected as the editor of the Transactions.

I would like to thank my wife Cris for her invaluable secretarial assistance and moral support.
