Title Features: Kurdish doctor invents groundbreaking 3D lenses Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 26/05/24 Description Cataracts, where the eye’s lens becomes clouded, and refractive errors, such as nearsightedness and farsightedness where light does not bend correctly, both drastically impair vision and quality of life. To combat these prevalent vision problems, a team of researchers has developed an innovative resin specifically designed for 3D printing intra-ocular lenses (IOLs). These artificial lenses are implanted to either replace the clouded lens caused by cataracts or to correct the eye's shape to improve vision.
“This new resin enables us to employ 3D printing technology to create lenses that are perfectly tailored to individual needs. Although still in the proof-of-concept stage, this technology could fundamentally change eye care by providing unmatched customization and precision in lens design,” Saeed, the lead researcher, explained. “Every eye is unique, and now our technology could meet this uniqueness with unprecedented precision.”Persons Aram Saeed
