Project description
Computational holography to assist cataract surgery
A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye causing blurry or distorted vision. Cataracts are common in the ageing population and can only be removed with surgery where the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial one. To predict the outcome of surgery, the KATSIM project, funded by the European Innovation Council, proposes the development of a computational holography approach to simulate vision in patients with cataract. KATSIM will develop the first cataract simulator that will allow clinicians to choose the right replacement lens for each individual patient.
Objective
Cataracts are the most prevalent blinding disease in the world. Surgery is the only option for Cataracts and it is the most frequently performed surgery worldwide. However, how the patient will see after surgery and what type of replacement intraocular lens (IOL) is the best option cannot be known. In this project, computational holography, which can control phase, size and shape of the light beam entering through the eye-pupil, will be utilized to develop a holographic vision simulator for cataract patients. This will be the first cataract simulator for in-vivo testing of multifocal IOLs. We'll develop and perform clinical studies of the novel instrument on patients.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
