A chance encounter. A doctor tries to communicate what she does. A photographer tries to find her place. In this setting, curiosity, passion, and complicity will be the driving forces behind a conversation about medicine and science. The bridge? Photography, music, poetry, art.
This is the starting point for this dramatized conference in which, using a camera as a metaphor, we will unravel the anatomy and function of vision, in order to understand the pathologies that cause blindness and what medicine can do for its prevention and recovery.
Science and society embodied in these two female characters, whose fate brings them together to discuss the past, present, and future of ophthalmology, with the ultimate goal of understanding the applicability of scientific advancements and research in the field of vision.
An intense encounter where scientific research serves ophthalmic medicine in the effort to completely eradicate blindness, and which requires the participation of all.
This and much more is what this performance is about.
Second Photón Awards for Scientific Dissemination (2019), in the area of optics and photonics, awarded by the Daza de Valdés Institute of Optics of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
