KEY TAKE-AWAYS
- The NGENUITY ® 3D visualization system with DATAFUSION™ allows for similar surgical efficiency to using standard microscopes even in high volume surgical centers performing anterior segment procedures like cataract surgery
- Advanced image processing and lighting can provide for a more comfortable patient experience while providing the surgeon an uncompromised surgical view, with recent data suggesting faster visual recovery in cataract surgery patients due to the lower illumination requirements of NGENUITY compared to standard microscopy
- The ergonomic benefits of the NGENUITY 3D visualization system can be realized during anterior segment surgery, especially with procedures such as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery CHALLENGES WITH ANALOGUE MICROSCOPE
- Dependence on the oculars
- Potential for prolonged exposure of the retina to excessive illumination beyond that of manufacturers recommendations • Potential for surgeon fatigue due to less than ideal ergonomic conditions
- Lack of data integration into a HUD display, requiring surgeon to pull back from oculars in order to appreciate additional surgical data (e.g. phaco metrics)
- Limited performance in high magnification Table 1: Existing challenges with analogue microscope
