In a significant breakthrough for military healthcare, the Army Hospital (Research and Referral) in New Delhi has successfully performed minimally invasive glaucoma surgery using a state-of-the-art 3D microscope. This marks a pioneering step for the Armed Forces in enhancing precision eye surgery techniques.
The advanced three-dimensional visualization system utilizes specialized 3D polarization glasses along with a 55-inch 4K ultra-HD display, offering significant advantages over conventional microscopes. The technology is particularly effective in treating squint, cataract, corneal, glaucoma, and retinal conditions, enabling surgeons to work with heightened accuracy and efficiency.
This innovation reduces surgical time and complication rates, minimizes phototoxicity, and enhances handling in uncommon or complex cases. It also improves the overall surgical experience for doctors and nurses, boosting satisfaction scores and ensuring safer procedures.
The initiative underscores the Indian Army’s commitment to delivering top-tier medical services and integrating cutting-edge technologies to enhance patient care. By introducing this facility, Army Hospital (Research and Referral) is reinforcing its position as a leader in advanced ophthalmic treatments, ensuring personnel and patients receive world-class medical services.
