Ten Things You Should Know about 3D Viewing System in Ophthalmology
1. Evolution of this latest state of the art technology in ophthalmology: Three-dimensional (3D) display systems were first developed for aircraft and military use. The term “heads-up surgery” derived from the so-called “head-up display”, a display system first used in aircraft flight decks that projects an image into the normal field of view. This display system allows visualization in a “heads-up” position. In this procedure, the operating surgeon does not perform by looking at the eyepieces of the microscope, but by viewing the microscopic image on a panel display sent from a 3D camera[1]. After the creation of the TrueVision 3D Visualization System for Microsurgery, this innovative, ground-breaking technological boon has entered the operating room. 2. Major types of 3D visualization technique: Conventional 3D systems are classified as either active or passive systems. In active systems, the 3D image is obtained by showing high-speed consecutive images for the right and left eyes al
