Confident Cataract Surgery Under Corneal Opacity Guided by Full-Range SS-iOCT

2026-04-27 13:53
A complex cataract patient exhibited central corneal opacity, peripheral neovascularization extending into the cornea, and marked thinning, with a thickness of only 300 μm. Cataract surgery was performed successfully under the guidance of full-range SS-iOCT using a digital navigation surgical microscope (FOcean, TowardPi Medical).

High-resolution intraoperative SS-OCT imaging provided real-time visualization of the thin, irregular, and non-transparent cornea, as well as continuous monitoring of the anterior chamber and the status of the anterior and posterior lens capsules (Fig. a). During surgery, the details of the lens cortex were clearly delineated, ensuring complete removal (Fig. b). After implanting the IOL, its position was well confirmed to ensure the surgical outcome.
