Abstract

The heads-up surgery is becoming more and more common and acceptable as it eliminates restrictions imposed by the use of a standard microscope, and minimizes surgeon's fatigue, and allows surgery in much more natural and physiological positions of the body. It also does not affect the image quality and surgical technique. It is increasingly used not only in retinal and vitreous surgery but also in procedures preformed on the anterior segment of the eye. Preliminary observations of the results of surgical treatment of cataracts, posttraumatic changes, strabismus and bullous keratopathy with three-dimensional (3D) visualization technologies, confirmed the safety profile of treatments as compared to conventional methods. Besides, 3D imaging is distinguished by educational values and enables the performance of the light-out operation.
