Cel ProVisione project offers to the Researcher an extraordinary opportunity to become an independent scientist in the field of vision sciences. The Researcher’s interest in studying the quality of vision in patient with different systems of optical correction finds in the project the perfect ground in which acquire new skills and knowledge.The topic of the project is the correction of presbyopia, that is the physiological, age-related loss in near visual function associated with the loss in accommodation. There is a huge interest in the field because presbyopia prevalence is extremely high with the number of presbyopes that in 2005 exceed one billion. Moreover there is increasing demand of presbyopia non-spectacle correction.ProVisionet will bring different, interdisciplinary expertise together in order to study the relationship between two new optical approaches to restore accommodation (the Scleral surgery and the Femtosecond Laser to treat the lens), the visual outcomes and patient satisfaction. Effectiveness will be evaluated longitudinally and compared to other non spectacle, pseudo-accommodative optical devices available for presbyiopic correction (monovision and multifocal Contact Lenses, multifocal and accommodative Intraocular Lenses). The objective of the project will have to cover different areas that represent research pillars: optical devices used in the project, optical quality of the eye and accommodative response, psychophysics of visual function, subjective quality of vision, perceptual factors that affect the quality of vision. This will be possible thanks to the expertise from 3 Universities (the Host University in UK, one in Italy and one in Germany respectively), 3 Clinical Structures (2 Private clinics in UK and Italy; 1 NHS clinic in UK), 2 private companies (Germany and Italy).ProVisione will involve a series of prospective and retrospective clinical studies that will be carried out on presbyopic patients from the clinical centres involved Dziedzina nauki medical and health sciencesclinical medicinesurgerynatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticslaser physics Program(-y) FP7-PEOPLE - Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Temat(-y) FP7-PEOPLE-2013-IEF - Marie-Curie Action: "Intra-European fellowships for career development" Zaproszenie do składania wniosków FP7-PEOPLE-2013-IEF Zobacz inne projekty w ramach tego zaproszenia System finansowania MC-IEF - Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) Koordynator ASTON UNIVERSITY Wkład UE € 231 283,20 Adres ASTON TRIANGLE B4 7ET Birmingham Zjednoczone Królestwo Zobacz na mapie Region West Midlands (England) West Midlands Birmingham Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Kontakt administracyjny Shehzad Naroo (Dr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych
