European Academy of Optometry and Optics & Hochschule Aalen part‑time Master’s degree: a perfect match
What an amazing and inspiring European Academy of Optometry and Optics (EAOO) meeting 2026 in Riga. The atmosphere was wonderfully warm and almost family‑like – a truly unique experience.
A very special thank you to Prof. Dr. Aiga Svede and her wonderful, enthusiastic and extremely supportive team around Karola Panke and Marta Skrastina from the University of Latvia – you made EAOO Riga 2026 unforgettable. And many thanks to Nils Purins for his patience with all of us and for all the fantastic photos for these posts.
