The Optical Society (OSA) has awarded the Edgar D. Tillyer prize to the professor of the University of Murcia Pablo Artal.
The prestigious society has valued the work of Artal for being a pioneer in the use of optical technology to unravel the human visual system and improve the diagnosis and correction of vision problems.
In the words of Ursula Gibson, president of OSA, "Artal's contribution to the study of human vision is tremendously important, his fundamental research, which has also led to clinical innovations, deserves the recognition of the Tillyer Prize."
The OSA highlights from Artal the development of innovative techniques applicable to vision, from the point of view of ophthalmology and biomedicine.
In addition, he considers that he has been a pioneer in important advances in the methods to study eye functioning and has contributed substantially to the understanding of the factors that limit human visual resolution.
The OSA values ​​that, thanks to its work, instruments and devices currently in clinical use have been developed.
The Edgar D. Tillyer Prize is awarded since 1953 to those who have done significant work in the field of vision.
The Optical Society is an organization dedicated to research and education in the field of Optics.
It was founded in 1916, in Rochester (New York), and has its headquarters in Washington.
The OSA has more than 20,000 members and is present in more than 100 countries.
