16/07/2018
On Friday, July 13th, 2018, at the Auditorium Joan Salvadó of the University Center of Vision, Pau Santos defended his doctoral thesis entitled "Novel System for Measuring the Scattering of the Cornea and the Lens". This project has been funded by the Industrial Doctorate Program of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Project 2014 DI 045) and Visiometrics S.L., a spin-off company of CD6.

The system developed allows quantifying the intraocular diffusion of the cornea and crystalline individually, which can be very useful in a clinical setting for the diagnosis of ocular diseases such as cornial lesions (keratitis, dystrophies, etc.) and cataracts.

The thesis has been supervised by Dr. Meritxell Vilaseca of CD6.
