About Division of Eye and Vision
The Division of Eye and Vision at Karolinska Institutet is Sweden's foremost research and education unit in the field of eyes and vision.
We conduct research that spans basic laboratory-based studies in the field of ophthalmology to translationally applied vision research. We are responsible for education in ophthalmology, the study of the eye and its diseases in medical education and the optician program, as well as postgraduate education programs that train the ophthalmologists and eye care
The division is led by Professor Rune Brautaset and consists of researchers with PhDs, doctoral students, and administrative staff. The department hosts four professorships and two adjunct professorships with combination positions.
The division consists of four research groups as well as two teams, which in turn are divided into smaller, scientifically independent groups. The division is closely linked to and collaborates with St. Erik Eye Hospital and Astrid Lindgren's Children's Hospital at Karolinska University Hospital.
