Transition from optical to digital opens opportunities in the operating room

Digitally assisted surgery may be the next revolutionary step that makes surgeons move away from the oculars of the operating microscope, opening up a world of new opportunities.
“The next two decades will see 3-D digital imaging replace the optical microscope completely, giving us beautiful, high-grade depth perception and a quality of visualization that is better than human vision,” Christopher D. Riemann, MD, said.
In 2010, Riemann presented at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting the first scientific poster of a series of heads-up 3-D digitally assisted vitrectomy
