DR. ROBERTO PINELLI
Musician, physician, ophthalmologist. He founded and directs the Switzerland Eye Research Institute in Lugano. The fruits and goals of his research are ParaCel®, a molecule which when combined with UV-A, blocks keratoconus; Femtolasik Lux®, a technique to eliminate presbyopia and all visual impairments in the cornea; and PhotoBioModulation, a treatment to halt the progression of age-related macular degeneration.
His entire activity as a researcher centres on the use of light, the photons that convey vibrational energy through the “eye portal” to the different areas of the human body. The nutraceuticals presented here are the result of years of painstakingly studying natural preparations (phytochemistry) which, alone or combined with light, maintain the health of the eye and the entire organism.
He is the author of numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications, most recently in the field of neuroscience.
