We are one of Europe's largest and most complete educational bodies in the field of eyes and eyesight. Our experts teach and train the specialist doctors of the future, medical students, eye nurses and orthoptists.
Research
Together with Karolinska Institutet, we are a national and international center for research on eye diseases and treatments. Our research results have contributed to new treatment methods and have affected how eye care is conducted today.
Environmental work
Our operations must be conducted with the least possible environmental impact. Already in 2000, we were environmentally certified according to the international environmental management standard ISO 14001.
