Applied research and services related to vision and visual perception.
We research vision and eye health – from preventive approaches and clinical diagnostics to innovative treatment methods, developing evidence-based solutions for visual health. At our clinic in Olten, we offer comprehensive eye and vision testing services to all FHNW staff and students as well as to the general public, supported by extensive clinical and scientific expertise.
