Two-photon vision is a novel method with great potential for the future of ophthalmic diagnostics. Although it has many advantages, it requires improvement in key areas. ICTER scientists have taken a step forward by improving this technology and opening up new perspectives in ocular medicine. Imagine that instead of viewing an image through a lens, […]
For the eyes to function properly, they must be adequately supplied with blood, and abnormalities in the microcirculation may indicate dysfunctions in other arteries, which are difficult to examine. For the first time, scientists from the International Centre from Translational Eye Research (ICTER), operating within the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of […]
The International Centre for Eye Research (ICTER) is one of the winners of the prestigious “Teaming for Excellence” competition within Horizon Europe (HE). The funding will allow the establishment of a Centre of Excellence. ICTER’s current mission – creating modern ophthalmic diagnostic tools and combating eye diseases affecting over 250 million people worldwide – will […]
Photoreceptors are the fundamental component of the entire vision process. These specialized cells that absorb light and trigger a specific physiological reaction in the body come in two varieties: cones (responsible for sharp color vision) and rods (responsible for black-and-white vision in low light, e.g. after dark). To properly receive visual stimuli and perceive the […]

CRATER 2023 is a unique event prepared by ICTER as a place to exchange ideas, disseminate research results, and explore the latest achievements related to the most important of our senses: vision. Since 2019, scientists at the International Centre for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) have been working on breakthrough technologies for imaging and diagnosing eye […]
We have a pair of eyes, with up to 6 million cones and 120 million rods, gifts from nature for our entire lives. It often happens that one of these elements starts to malfunction – the earlier we detect this, the better the chances of a cure. Diagnostic tools in ophthalmology are well-developed, but they […]
