European Young Eye (EYE) project announces its latest publication: “Influence of Contact Lens Parameters on Cornea: Biomechanical Analysis,” featured in the MDPI journal Bioengineering, specifically within the special issue on “Biomechanics Studies in Ophthalmology.” This study utilises finite element analysis to explore ocular biomechanics under the closed-eye condition, focusing on how different contact lens parameters such as Young’s modulus, base curve, and diameter affect corneal stress distribution and the overall fit of the lens. These insights are crucial for advancing contact lens design to enhance wearer safety and comfort.

ESR4 had the honor of participating in the XXVI International Congress of Optometry and Contactology and the 2nd International Meeting of Vision and Sport at the Sport Lisboa and Benfica Stadium this March. He presented his valuable insights on how contact lens parameters impact tear film. A heartfelt thank you to UPOOP for organizing such an impactful event! #upoop #congressoupoop #slb #benfica #visaoedesporto #xxvicongressoupoop #MSCA #H2020 #EYEproject #ITN #EuropeanYoungEYE #MarieCurieFellowships #IndustrialDoctorate #EuropeanCommision #ResearchProgram #AlainAfflelou #Markennovy #universidadcomplutensedemadrid

On the training week of 9th to the 11th April of 2024, we had the opportunity to share our advances on the EYE project in an internal meeting. #MSCA #H2020 #EYEproject #ITN #EuropeanYoungEYE #MarieCurieFellowships #IndustrialDoctorate #EuropeanCommision #ResearchProgram #AlainAfflelou #Markennovy #lacomplutense

From the 9th to the 11th April of 2024, we had the opportunity to follow training courses on different ways to apply innovative ideas developed during the PhD studies. Some of the courses included Intellectual Property, Trademark Policies, Entrepreneurship, innovation facilities for startups and presentation of highly qualified career positions in industry and academia. #MSCA #H2020 #EYEproject #ITN #EuropeanYoungEYE #MarieCurieFellowships #IndustrialDoctorate #EuropeanCommision #ResearchProgram #AlainAfflelou #Markennovy #lacomplutense

European Young Eye project announces our latest publication: 'Contact Lens Fitting and Changes in Tear Film Dynamics: Mathematical and Computational Models Review,' a review that unveils the complexities of contact lens fitting through advanced mathematical and computational models, revolutionizing our understanding of eye care science.

The first article of the EYE project is now available for everyone to read. This article provides details on the item bank creation process related to the development and validation of the presbyopic contact lens Patient Reported Outcomes instrument. https://jpro.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41687-024-00689-w #msca #H2020 #EYEproject #ITN #europeanyoungeye #mariecuriefellowship #industrialdoctorate #europeancommision #researchprogram #alainafflelou #markennovy #universidadcomplutense

ESR1 & ESR4 have published chapters on contact lenses and tear film dynamics in the book ‘Temas actuales de Optometría 2022’. These findings were first showcased at the 'SIYO congress 2022' held by Universitat de València-Estudi General in November, 2022 and later selected for inclusion in this prestigious publication.

On October 6, 2023, our team of 5 dedicated researchers participated in the 7th PhDay Conference, hosted by the Department of Optics and Optometry at the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. We're proud to congratulate Clara Lim, our ESR2 researcher, for her outstanding presentation, which earned her the well-deserved second prize! #msca #H2020 #EYEproject #ITN #europeanyoungeye #mariecuriefellowships #industrialdoctorate #europeancommission #researchprogram #alainafflelou #markennovy #universidadcomplutense

🌍👀 World Sight Day is a time to raise awareness about vision-related issues, and we're excited to join the cause! At the European Young Eye project, we're dedicated to bringing innovative tools and solutions for Presbyopia to light. Presbyopia can affect us all, but with the right technology and research, we can help improve the vision and eye health of people everywhere through the use of multifocal contact lenses. Stay tuned for updates and insights as we continue our journey towards better eye care. Together, we can make a difference! 👁‍🗨 Music by AudioCoffee: https://www.audiocoffee.net/ #díamundialdelavisión #saludvisual #loveyoureyes #worldsightday #msca #H2020 #EYEproject #ITN #europeanyoungeye #mariecuriefellowships #industrialdoctorate #europeancommission #researchprogram #alainafflelou #markennovy #universidadcomplutense

The BCLA 2023 Clinical Conference & Exhibition took place on the 9th to the 11th of June 2023 in Manchester. Both ESR 1 and ESR 2 had the fantastic opportunity to present their work. ESR 1 presented a poster on the “Study of contrast sensitivity function with multifocal contact lenses”, and ESR 2 presented in a Rapid Fire session the “Effects of crosslinkers on fluorohydrogel contact lenses properties”. We thank the BCLA for organizing the event! #BCLA #Optometry #Ophthalmology #Contactlenses #MSCA #H2020 #EYEproject #ITN #EuropeanYoungEYE #MarieCurieFellowships #IndustrialDoctorate#EuropeanCommision #ResearchProgram #Markennovy #AlainAfflelou #universidadcomplutense
