Abstract:

In recent years, three-dimension (3D) technology is gradually applied to ophthalmic microsurgeries, such as corneal transplantation surgery, anti-glaucoma surgery, cataract extraction surgery and vitreoretinal surgery. The 3D display has many advantages, such as improving surgeon ergonomics, reducing risk of retinal phototoxicity, real-time digital signal processing and offering more information for surgeries and so on. The disadvantages, including low resolution, frequent focusing or so, will be resolved by advancement of mathematics and digital signal module in the future. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2018, 42:  209-212)
