Накратко на български
Адаптивната оптика, използвана в астрономията, се прилага за високоразрешаващо изобразяване на ретината, например за наблюдение на отделни фоторецептори. Това помага за ранното откриване и проследяване на дегенеративни заболявания на окото, както и за подобряване на зрителната острота.

Цел на проекта
Adaptive optics has proved to be extremely successful in astronomy, providing diffraction limited imaging for ground based telescopes in the 8-10 metre class. The overall aim of this project to apply the technique of adaptive optics to high-resolution imaging of the retina and to providing improved vision. By apply adaptive optics to retinal imaging, it will be possible to image the photoreceptor mosaic on the scale of a few microns, and this will be of significant clinical value for the early detection and monitoring of retinal degeneration, for example due to age-related macular degeneration There is also the possibility of stimulating single photoreceptors, or small groups of photoreceptors, thus allowing novel experiments and investigations in visual perception. Our objectives will be achieved through five inter-related work packages:1. Imaging the retina2. Clinical applications3. Improving vision4. Wave front sensing5. Eye and tissue properties The participating groups (7 from 5 countries) have backgrounds related to adaptive optics in astronomy (ICSTM, LESIA and TECH) and in clinical ophthalmic optics and vision science (IOO, LBV, LOUM and VEIC), representing a well-balanced, and highly qualified, team for this project. As a result of this project, we expect to achieve diffraction-limited imaging of the retina in a clinical setting (as opposed to lab-based), and to have implemented adaptive optics that provides improved visual acuity. The project provides the opportunity for cross linking between researchers primarily based in physics and astronomy and those primarily based in the life sciences and medic me, The young scientists will work across these fields and gain experience in the approaches used in interdisciplinary research.
