Cutting Edge Technology Will Reduce Trauma in Eye Surgeries

The Aditya Jyot Foundation for Twinkling Little Eyes has acquired a new 3-D digital microscope that will allow for more surgical precision.

The new technology, the Zeiss Artevo 800, has been installed at the Aditya Jyot Hospital in Wadala. The device will be performing 5,000 free cataract and retinal surgeries on Monday for lower-income groups.

The technology eliminates binoculars which
are a commonly used instrument in ophthalmology. The managing trustee of the
foundation, Dr. S. Nataranjan, stated that the adoption of the technology will
be most beneficial to the patients.

The newly acquired technology will allow
for a less traumatic surgical experience for the eye itself. This will help
with a reduced healing time for the patient.

The Zeiss Artevo 800 has two cameras that
are attached to the microscope. This will produce a digital image that will
then be shown on a screen. Looking at this screen is how the doctor will
operate.

This will also allow for a closer
magnification of the eye and allows for depth perception. Being able to see the
eye this close will allow for the different layers of the eye to be visible.
This will help in surgical efforts and reduce inflammation.

The eye has some of the softest tissue in
the entire human body. Operating on it can cause significant damage if not done
delicately.

The Bajaj Foundation is responsible for the
funding that has implemented the new technology. They are also the foundation
that is backing the 5,000 free surgeries that will be performed with the new
machine. Madhur Bajaj, the trustee for the foundation, stated that he is happy
to be able to help contribute to this technology. He stated that this is a big
step for microscopic surgery in India.

The doctors are planning to train on
simulators in order to learn the full functionality of the new technology that
is at their fingertips.
