About

One team. Multiple disciplines. A shared purpose.

We are a multidisciplinary research community connecting vision science, optical and biomedical technology, and clinical ophthalmology in Valencia. Our researchers work across university and clinical environments to address scientific questions with direct relevance to eye health.

Institutional structure

Two connected research structures

The research activity of the team is articulated through two connected institutional structures. They support one shared scientific programme.

ORBITA

Ocular Research in Biocompatibility, Interventions & Translational Applications

Type: Research Group
Institution: Universitat de València
Director: Prof. Alejandro Cerviño

ORBITA develops preclinical and clinical research in ophthalmic devices and diagnostic technologies, connecting optical characterization, non-invasive measurements and clinical outcomes to generate evidence for the safe adoption of new ophthalmic technologies.

OASIS

Ocular Anterior Segment and Surface Innovation Science

Type: Joint Research Unit
Participating environments: Universitat de València
IIS La Fe / Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe
Co-coordinators: Prof. Alejandro Cerviño
Dr. Ana Hervás Ontiveros

OASIS integrates scientific, technological and clinical expertise to advance translational research in ocular surface, cornea, anterior segment, ocular optics and innovative diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
