Whatukura: A bioengineered model of the human eye

Region: 

This project is developing a computer based bioengineered model of the human eye to give greater insight into eye disease and treatments. This will help patients and families better understand their eye and vision exams, and have improved clinical outcomes, says Jason.

“It’s hoped with this computer program, the clinician can show a family member what the patient is seeing, and then demonstrate the progression of the defect and how it might be improved by some form of surgery.”
