Klinik für Augenheilkunde

Our mission

To reduce uncertainty and to minimize the number of subjects in clinical trials.

Our spectrum

We analyze the corneal endothelium at a precision that has not been seen before.

We grade the corneal epithelium from smartphone and slit lamp fotographs using advanced image processing . Broschure

We also provide methods to evaluate electron microscopy pictures of the cornea, topographic and anterior segment OCT images.
