MARTERLENSES But if ophthalmologists could insert a pressure monitoring system in the eye with an artificial lens during cataract surgeryow a common procedure performed on 3 million to 4 million people each year to remove blurry vision
But now, a team of scientists and ophthalmologists has tested a solution in dogs that may be able to dissolve the cataract right out of the eye lens.
It uses a 3d printed add-on that can allow ophthalmologists to give detailed and complete eye exams in the field using an app and a small camera overlay.
Created by British ophthalmologists, the system recently hit £130, 475 on Indiegogo and is now up for pre-order by doctors.
ophthalmologists are able to address eye care problems anywhere in the world. Interestingly, the system also allows you to give eye tests by showing increasingly smaller letters and figures on the screen.
it could earn a fortune undercutting standard $50 to $100 ophthalmologist visits and making the world see clearer.
And in that respect, the 3d printed Peek short for the Portable Eye Examination Kit developed by a team of British ophthalmologists,
and was led by Paulo Stanga, consultant ophthalmologist and vitreo-retinal surgeon at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and professor of ophthalmology and retinal regeneration at the University of Manchester.
Professor Paulo Stanga, consultant ophthalmologist at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, said: r Flynn progress is truly remarkable.
The technology was designed for general physicians who support the health system in Mexico to detect certain abnormalities without an ophthalmologist
The gadget has been developed by ophthalmologist Andrea Russo together with and Italian tech development firm Si14 Spa.
