Abstract
Intraocular visualization in cataract surgery is currently achieved using the ophthalmic surgical microscope (OSM). Three-dimensional (3D) heads-up display is a burgeoning intraocular visualization technique for cataract surgery, which projects the surgical view to a 3D monitor. A number of theoretical advantages of this system over the OSM have been proposed. 3D visualization is reported to provide improved depth perception and the heads-up display promotes a more ergonomic surgical position while providing an enhanced view for the entire surgical team. The modern OSMs, however, already allow for safe and efficient cataract surgery, and 3D heads-up display visualization is limited by a steep learning curve. We critically review the literature around 3D heads-up display cataract surgery and compare its safety profile to traditional visualization techniques.
