Visual Optics & Biophotonics lab

Welcome to the Visual Optics and Biophotonics lab website at the Instituto de Optica, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid, Spain.

Our goal is the development of new imaging techniques and vision correction alternatives to improve the diagnosis and treatment of vision-threatening conditions. We have applied this technology specifically to:

1. The understanding of the imaging mechanisms of the optical system of the eye

2. Advance of the understanding of the biological mechanisms and early diagnosis of ocular pathologies.

3. Evaluation and new designs of refractive and presbyopic corrections.
