Uncorrected myopia affects vision which impacts on learning and development. High myopia creates a significant risk of retinal malfunction capable of leading to vision loss.
Vision CRC addresses myopia from cause and prevalence through to prevention, treatment and cure through its research.
Uncorrected myopia affects learning and development, while high myopia creates a significant risk of retinal malfunction capable of leading to vision loss. The Vision CRC addresses myopia from cause and prevalence through to prevention, treatment and cure through its research into areas including:- Corneal Onlay, an exciting approach to permanent vision correction. This implantable lens is a convenient and safe alternative to spectacles, contact lenses or laser surgery
- a novel strategy to slow or prevent the development of myopia. In one of the most exciting and essential projects in vision, the Vision CRC aims to create optical designs that remove the stimulus that creates myopia
- understanding of genetic and environmental influences on myopia development
- next generation contact lenses, providing better vision, comfort and biocompatibility.
