It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t sting, and most of the time it shows no warning signs at all. Yet, it can quietly impair vision. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of those parameters that seem insignificant – until you truly understand it. A new international publication explains that behind the simple number displayed by a tonometer […]
Dr. Karnowski developed expertise in fiber imaging probes during his postdoctoral research at the University of Western Australia. He continued this line of research through the NAWA Polish Returns project, which was integrated into the broader ICTER research initiatives. Our team proposed an innovative design for imaging probes that strategically combines the advantages of previous […]
The anterior chamber of the eye plays a critical role in our visual mechanism, serving dual purposes of protection and optical functionality. This vital anatomical region acts not only as a protective barrier but also as a crucial optical pathway that focuses light onto the retina, enabling our visual perception of the world. Our comprehensive […]
Some applications require finer imaging resolution. In optical coherence tomography (OCT), the transversal resolution is determined by imaging optics (often with working distance limitations), while axial resolution depends on the effective bandwidth of the light source. We developed a dual spectrometer spectral OCT system working with a broadband femtosecond laser as a source. The system […]
Our collaborative research with ICTER focuses on advancing vision restoration therapies and fundamental investigations of retinal function using animal models. The team has already established a sophisticated Full-field Optical Coherence Tomography (FF-OCT) system specifically designed for mouse model imaging, capable of capturing both structural and functional retinal characteristics with exceptional precision. To support the critical […]
In this project, we address two primary challenges in ophthalmic surgeries: enhancing the accuracy and precision of surgical procedures and developing targeted drug and therapy administration methods for specific eye regions. To achieve these goals, we have developed an integrated image-guided and robotic-aided ocular microscopy platform that leverages Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) image-guidance to improve […]
One of the primary initiatives within the IDoc Group focuses on the development of safer and more effective tools for eye surgery. This endeavor posed a distinct challenge for us, as it fell outside our traditional areas of expertise. Nevertheless, it is indeed a remarkable achievement that we have managed to assemble a team that, […]
Whole-eye optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is a promising tool in ocular biometry for cataract surgery planning, glaucoma diagnostics and myopia progression studies. However, conventional OCT systems are set up to perform either anterior or posterior eye segment scans and cannot easily switch between the two scan configurations without adding or exchanging optical components to […]
