Optics Laboratory at the University of Murcia, headed by Professor Pedro Artal, has made a discovery that will improve the visual correction systems.
The study, by itself also Artal and Juan Tabernero Laboratory researcher has discovered that the human eye lens is similar to the characteristics of an aplanatic optical system.
These systems have a configuration of lenses that produce images of good quality without optical defects of spherical aberration, and what these scientists have discovered is that the shape of the lens as a convex lens is best for optimizing correction systems vision.
"These advances in the understanding of the human eye, Artal said today, not only of great importance from the standpoint of basic research, but undoubtedly help optimize systems for vision correction."
He added that "as discussed in the article, this is a very important step to develop a new generation of diagnostic and therapeutic methods based on advanced optical technologies to provide better visual quality to the citizens."
Pablo Artal, who is credited with eight international patents and was co-founder of two technology companies, has received in recent years public and private funds to finance their studies with an amount in excess of three million euros.
Pioneered a number of advances in methods for the study of optics of the eye, has made an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the factors that limit vision in humans, and several of his results and ideas have been introduced in instruments and devices used in optics and ophthalmology.
This latest research work has been published in specialized international journal Nature Photonics. http://www.nature.com/nphoton/
