Concepts pertaining to ophthalmology have lots of theoretical frameworks. Neophyte residents and novice surgeons may have to mentally visualize these concepts during the initial days of training. Only a powerful cognitive tool such as a three-dimensional (3D) eyeball model, with real-time TrueColor confocal images (and not animated images or models), can fill in these intellective mental gaps. Giving the users (i.e., residents and students) the power to choose and visualize various parts of the eye, with multiple magnitudes of zoom, is mandatory for optimal e-learning. To make ophthalmic concept learning better, we have developed a 3D app Eye MG 3D (patent pending) comprising ocular anatomy and pathophysiological 3D models, built on an advanced interactive 3D touch interface, by using patient’s real-time confocal images to serve as a new-age pedagogical tool and e-counseling. According to our knowledge, there are no applications to date that incorporate real-time high-resolution multimodal confocal fundus images and photoreal visuals for interactive and immersive 3D learning.

“…4 This improved depth of field and peripheral visualization allows for a larger perceived operating field. 3,16 Several studies 2,4,13 have provided evidence in support of improved depth perception in 3D HUD visualization compared with the OSM. Del Turco et al 4 described that 9 of 12 cataract surgeons reported comparable or improved visibility and depth perception over OSM.…”

Intraocular visualization in cataract surgery is currently achieved using the ophthalmic surgical microscope (OSM). Three-dimensional (3D) heads-up display is a burgeoning intraocular visualization technique for cataract surgery, which projects the surgical view to a 3D monitor. A number of theoretical advantages of this system over the OSM have been proposed. 3D visualization is reported to provide improved depth perception and the heads-up display promotes a more ergonomic surgical position while providing an enhanced view for the entire surgical team. The modern OSMs, however, already allow for safe and efficient cataract surgery, and 3D heads-up display visualization is limited by a steep learning curve. We critically review the literature around 3D heads-up display cataract surgery and compare its safety profile to traditional visualization techniques.

“…Ambidexterity is a necessity for anterior segment procedures such as phacoemulsification, where right-handed surgeons must use their left hand or the non-dominant hand (NDH) to operate a chopper. [ 1 ] Mixed handedness is more critical than ever, extending its utility in pediatric ophthalmology, oculoplasty, and vitreoretinal surgery. It is also required for holding slit-lamp biomicroscopic lenses [Fig.…”
