Ingenieros diseñan un novedoso goniómetro ocular para el tratamiento quirúrgico del astigmatismo.

It is a portable, rechargeable device with Wi-Fi that adds precision and speed in the treatment of this anomaly that causes distorted vision.

The 'GO' goniometer is the University of Malaga's new prototype for the treatment of astigmatism. It is a rechargeable, portable device with Wi-Fi technology which, among its many advantages, adds precision, speed and cost savings in the surgical treatment of this anomaly located in the curvature of the cornea, which generates distorted vision.

This ocular goniometer is an idea of ophthalmologist Salvador Nebro, developed jointly with the research group 'Graphic Engineering and Design', led by UMA engineers Manuel D. Marín and Óscar D. de Cózar, from the Department of Graphic Expression, Design and Projects; technical engineer José Macías, also from this department, and Juan Antonio Bascuñana and Joaquín Fernández, from the SCAI Machining Workshop, thanks to the management of the Office for the Transfer of Research Results (OTRI).
