Visual Optics – Contact Lens & Intraocular Lens

MNMT-Dublin carries out fundamental research and application development in advanced design of visual optics. Research activities cover optical design, material development and evaluation techniques for premium contact lens and intraocular. Customised lens with freeform surface allows bringing most of light in one focus.

​

It is capable of developing systematically from design principles to simulation software, and from the acquisition of human eye’s geometry to evaluate the visual quality. Freeform processing technologies are applied on both mould materials and lens materials.
