“…In addition to the three areas summarized in this article, AR also has potential in diagnosing and protection. There have been some researches well-developed on VR but lack exploring in AR in the diagnosis of strabismus (73). It might be possible to achieve better effectiveness by implementing well-developed diagnosis applications from VR to AR since AR is based on natural vision and can be used for a long time (9).…”

Augmented reality (AR) has been developed rapidly and implemented in many fields such as medicine, maintenance, and cultural heritage. Unlike other specialties, ophthalmology connects closely with AR since most AR systems are based on vision systems. Here we summarize the applications and challenges of AR in ophthalmology and provide insights for further research. Firstly, we illustrate the structure of the standard AR system and present essential hardware. Secondly, we systematically introduce applications of AR in ophthalmology, including therapy, education, and clinical assistance. To conclude, there is still a large room for development, which needs researchers to pay more effort. Applications in diagnosis and protection might be worth exploring. Although the obstacles of hardware restrict the development of AR in ophthalmology at present, the AR will realize its potential and play an important role in ophthalmology in the future with the rapidly developing technology and more in-depth research.

The field of augmented reality (AR) and three-dimensional (3D) printing are rapidly growing with many new potential applications in medical education and pedagogy. In this chapter, we have used 3D AR and 3D printed models of the cerebral arterial circulatory system, created by us to simplify concept learning. Various cerebral circulation diseases pertaining to ophthalmology can be explained in detail for immersive learning, with the help of various 3D models, for structures such as the circle of Willis, cavernous sinus, various cranial nerves, cerebrum, cerebellum and the eye. These models not only help in cognitive understanding of cerebral circulation diseases but also aid in diagnosing them with better conviction. Ophthalmologists, sometimes being the first responder, have a vigilant role to play with a heightened awareness of these cerebral arterial circulation diseases, which are not only vision-threatening but life-threatening too. This chapter summarizes the construction and holistic application of these 3D ophthalmology-related arterial cerebral circulation models in AR and 3D printing.

“…To support this AR app, the android device must have a compass (magnetometer), a rear-facing camera, a gyroscope, a global positioning system (GPS), and an accelerometer. [ 6 ] These devices need to run Android 7.0 Nougat or later, and need to be installed with Google Play services for AR. In this era, there is no dearth of smartphone users.…”

Augmented reality (AR) has come a long way from a science-fiction concept to a science-based reality. AR is a view of the real, physical world in which the elements are enhanced by computer-generated inputs. AR is available on mobile handsets, which constitutes an essential e-learning platform. Today, AR is a real technology and not a science-fiction concept. The use of an e-ophthalmology platform with AR will pave the pathway for new-age gameful pedagogy. In this manuscript, we present a newly innovated AR program named “Eye MG AR” to simplify ophthalmic concept learning and to serve as a new-age immersive 3D pedagogical tool for gameful learning.
