CD6 is working in a project to develop novel instrumentation for the objective evaluation of the tear film quality based on corneal reflex image degradation. The project aims to increase the Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) of previously developed basic research, in order to achieve TRL 7. For this purpose a pre-industrial prototype will be developed to be applied in clinical environment in the assesment of tear film quality and more specifically in the diagnosis of dry eye by means of the break-up time measurement.

The project has been funded by the European Union ERDF within the framework of the "ERDF Operational Program of Catalonia 2014-2020"
