Proof of Concept - Digital Electro-optical Surgical Platform as Replacement for Operational Microscopes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Evaluate the use of Elbit's digital electro-optical systems for generating detailed high quality video imaging during surgery, and thus improving the surgeon's visualization, performance and outcome.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Field of view of GlasScope surgical microscope [Up to 3 days after surgery]
- Depth of field of GlasScope surgical microscope [Up to 3 days after surgery]
- 3D perception of GlasScope surgical microscope [Up to 3 days after surgery]
3D perception of GlasScope surgical microscope is assessed by the surgeon ability to perform surgical gentle procedures using the surgical tools on the eye tissues - both inner and posterior parts of the eye.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Surgeon fatigue and neck strain (questionnaire) [Up to 7 days after surgery]
Questioning the surgeons after surgery on the pain and stress during the use of Glasscope causing decreased performance/lack of concentration/fatigue, the complexity on keeping the eye-piece image in the surgeon sight, how the instrument prevents the surgeon situation awareness in the operating room, the stress and fatigue on the surgeon eyes for long duration of observation in the image
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients older than 18.
-
Pseudophakia patients with silicone oil in the vitreous cavity.
-
Silicone oil density of 1500 centistoke or 5500 CS.
-
Good corrected visual acuity (> 6/10) in the second eye.
-
Lack of additional ocular pathology that would reduce the quality of vision during surgery (corneal scar, Posterior Capsular Opacity, low transmission in the implantable lens, non-expanded pupil).
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Additional ocular pathology that would reduce the quality of vision during surgery (corneal scar, Posterior Capsular Opacity, low transmission in the implantable lens, non-expanded pupil).
-

-
Posterior segment pathology in the second eye.
-
Special populations (children under the age of 18, pregnant women)
