3D Printing in Ophthalmology: from Medical Implant to Personalized Medicine
Keywords:
3D printing, corneal transplant, Drug delivery, Orbital implantAbstract
Accurate modeling of anatomical features is made possible by three-dimensional printing, which has found widespread use in the medical field. Orbital models were among its first applications in eye care, used for surgical planning and training. This has now allowed for the creation of custom-fit prosthesis in oculoplastic surgery. It has developed to include the manufacturing of medical equipment, surgical instruments, eyeglasses, and delivery systems for radiation and medication. Many institutions 3D-printed their own eye protection during the COVID-19 epidemic due to increasing demand for personal protective equipment and supply chain difficulties. The most common procedure carried out globally is cataract surgery.for instance, magnetic resonance imaging.
