The European Dry Eye Network (EDEN) was a European research and doctoral training network focused on advancing the understanding of Dry Eye Disease (DED). The project brought together leading academic institutions and industry partners to investigate the structural and physiological changes associated with DED, develop improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and provide multidisciplinary training to early-stage researchers in vision science.
- CompletedORBITA
Characterisation of Multifocal Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses and Visual Performance Following Fitting
Investigation of the optical and clinical characteristics of multifocal rigid gas permeable contact lenses and assessment of visual performance following lens fitting, contributing to optical strategies for presbyopia correction.
