Abstract
Significant advancements in ophthalmic surgery can be partly attributed to the integration of preoperative data.
In cataract surgery, for instance, a photograph of the eye is taken prior to the operation and used by the surgical microscope to guide the precise placement of the toric intraocular lens.
Similarly, in laser corneal refractive surgery, a preoperative image is integrated with the laser to accurately align the refractive treatment.
The use of these digital data eliminates the often imprecise manual markings, thereby enhancing the precision of interventions. The connectivity of surgical instruments with these preoperative data represents a major technological breakthrough, offering safer and more effective treatments for patients.
