Inventing a technology is one thing but putting it into practice is quite another. ICTER allows both worlds to meet, an interview with Dr Bartosz Sikorski, an ophthalmologist and long-time ICTER collaborator

Dr. Bartosz Sikorski's 20-year friendship with Prof. Maciej Wojtkowski resulted in several joint projects and patents that today facilitate the diagnosis of eye diseases worldwide. Without them, there would be no spectral OCT or OCT angiography, among others, which have changed the face of ophthalmology. But the exciting adventure continues! They are currently working together on two-photon vision, optoretinography (functional examination of the retina), and STOC (Spatio-Temporal OCT), which open up entirely new horizons.

How can modern ophthalmology be improved with new diagnostic methods? What does this mean for patients and, more broadly, for the whole of the society? You will learn about this from our interview with Dr. Bartosz Sikorski, an ophthalmologist, vitreoretinal surgeon and long-standing ICTER collaborator, a clinical expert in the field of eye imaging.
