The Laboratory of Optics of the University of Murcia develop glasses to cure cataracts without surgery (02/10/2013)

The Laboratory of Optics of the University of Murcia, directed by Professor Pablo Artal, has received 2.5 million European Advanced Grant funds to develop glasses that correct cataracts without subjecting the patient to any surgery.

The results allow patients to see through a cataract affected eye through the use of advanced techniques and developing photonics special glasses, without requiring surgery to replace the eye's natural lens damaged by an artificial, if this operation was applicable to you.

The 660 million euros that the European Commission has allocated for these grants through the European Research Council, will benefit some 284 researchers from 27 different countries, with the UK, Germany, France, Holland and Italy in the lead in number beneficiaries.

Since these funds were established in 2007, Spain has won 69 of them, but this is the first that falls in the region of Murcia, innovative and pioneering project that could soon present immediate and significant benefits for millions of people.
