Linking science and art: Susana Marcos discussing presbyopia around a painting at the Prado Museum

Susana Marcos discusses art and science at the Museo del Prado, around the painting of Saint Jeronimus reading a letter, by French artist Georges de la Tour. The program is an inniative of the Fundacion Para la Ciencia y la Tecnología, and Museo del Prado, and was featured in La Aventura del Saber, of RTVE

“An Eye into the Future”
The eye is a fascinating optical system, yet its performance gets compromised with age and disease. Myopia affects 25% of the population (90% in some Asian countries) and its prevalece is raising. Presbyopia, the age-related loss of the crystalline lens to accommodate near and far, affects 100% of the population over 45 years of age. Light-based technologies and optics allow us for a better diagnosis and treatment of the eye. Future optical technologies hold promise for restoring sight and will be key in improving eye care for all.

VioBio Lab represented at Visual and Physiological Optics (VPO2016) Conference in Antwerp, Belgium

 

Vyas Akondi and Miriam Velasco presented at VPO2016, the xxth Edition of the Visual and Physiological Optics, two different studies pertaining the understanding and correction of presbyopia. Dr. Vyas Akondi presented computational validations of the Simultaneous Vision Simulator and its capability of representing different diffractive, refractive and extended depth of focus real IOLs. Miriam Velasco presented 3-D OCT-based measurements of the morphology of the presbyopic crystalline lens.
