 Welcome

 

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

The goal of our laboratory is the development of imaging techniques for the in vivo, non-invasive investigation of the human visual system. We  have applied this technology specifically to:

  1. The understanding of the imaging mechanisms of the optical system of the eye (cornea and crystalline lens)
  2. The investigation of the interactions of light with the retina, in particular, sampling and light capture by the retinal photoreceptors
  3. Advance of the understanding of the biological mechanisms and early diagnosis of ocular pathologies
  4. Evaluation and new designs of refractive and presbyopic corrections.

Professor of Research CSIC
