"We have built the first instrument capable of measuring and manipulating the optical aberrations from both eyes at the same time. This system allows us to control what is natural in normal vision."
Prof. Pablo Artal
Many years of productive research in adaptive and visual optics are behind the technology implemented on the Binocular Adaptive Optics Visual Simulator (
bAOVS) (*).
Adaptive optics and the latest Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) technology merge in the
bAOVS to provide an optimal correction strategy allowing the patient testing the final outcome non-invasively.
The industrial property of the
bAOVS technology is company-owned and protected by a portfolio of patents.
