GOALS AND STRUCTUREObjectives
To address the aforementioned issues OBERON aims to create a unique, biologically viable and physiologically relevant modelling platform describing the interactions between ocular mechanical properties, optics and geometry in a way adaptable to a wide range of ocular conditions. Specifically, we intend to:
Create a research network where a group of talented ESRs can train, work together and exchange ideas with European experts on topics related to visual optics and biomechanics.
Improve fundamental knowledge on unsolved topics of visual optics and biomechanics.
Create the opto-biomechanical model as a platform for future analyses.
Expand this platform to incorporate the influences of ageing, accommodation, select pathologies (e.g. keratoconus), and responses to therapies (e.g. cross-linking, refractive surgery, intraocular lens implantation, etc.).
Develop innovative applications in corneal and cataract surgery, highlighting the platform’s strength.
Ensure that Europe cements its place as a world leader and pioneer in the field of visual optics and eye modelling.
