The world’s first international hub for vision science, a research collaboration between the University of Waterloo and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), has had its funding extended through to 2030.

The mission of the InnoHK Centre for Eye and Vision Research (CEVR) is to generate technologies that prevent, detect, treat and mitigate vision loss. Its goal is not only to conduct world-leading vision science research but also to explore opportunities for translating innovations into practical solutions that enhance eye health.

At the University of Waterloo, researchers are addressing complex challenges to solve real-world problems. Fifth-year chemistry student Allysa Greidanus is working in Dr.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a better way to enhance the clarity and detail of eye images used to diagnose disease by teaching artificial intelligence (AI) software the science behind the imaging process.

The new AI model precisely reverses quality loss and reconstructs reliable images, providing a powerful tool for more accurate diagnosis of eye diseases affecting the cornea, the transparent tissue in the front of the eye.
