VOS - Visió, Optometria i Salut
El grup de recerca Visió, Optometria i Salut (VOS) incorpora investigadors amb perfils i experteses molt diversos, incloent la física i l’òptica aplicada, la psicologia, l’optometria clínica i la salut pública. El denominador comú es troba en l' interès pels aspectes més clínics de les ciències de la visió, desenvolupant recerca amb aplicació immediata a la pràctica clínica diària de l’optometria i a la gestió dels pacients. En aquest sentit, algunes de les línies de treball del VOS giren al voltant de l'estudi de l’aparició, progressió i control de la miopia, de les lents de contacte i superfície ocular, incloent la llàgrima, i l'estudi de les desigualtats en la salut visual poblacional. Part de la recerca del VOS es desenvolupa en el Centre Universitari de la Visió (CUV).
