JAVIER GONZALEZ PEREZ

Javier Gonzalez Perez is a University Professor at the Faculty of Optics and Optometry, Department of Applied Physics, University of Santiago de Compostela. His academic work is centered on applied optics with a focus on ocular health and vision correction technologies.

His research interests lie primarily in the field of Optics, with specific emphasis on the Ocular Surface and the physiological effects of Contact Lenses, Orthokeratology, and Refractive Surgery such as LASIK. His work integrates clinical observation with structural analysis to understand long-term ocular changes.

He is a member of the SOYLC (Ocular Surface and Contact Lenses) research group and was previously involved in the P4Life (Photonics4Life) initiative, reflecting interdisciplinary collaboration in photonics and biomedical applications. His doctoral research, completed in 2011, examined structural and inflammatory changes induced by various vision correction methods.

While no scientific awards or publications are listed in the provided text, his sustained academic position and research group involvement indicate ongoing contributions to the field of optometry and applied physics.

He advises students through thesis supervision, though specific names are not listed. There is no mention of grant funding in the provided material. His work is supported by institutional research frameworks at the University of Santiago de Compostela.

The SOYLC research group serves as his primary laboratory and collaborative team, focusing on advancing the safety and efficacy of contact lens technologies and corneal health monitoring.
