Summary
This study tests a special microscope that takes live 3D images inside the eye during surgery. It aims to help surgeons see better when treating conditions like retinal detachment, macular holes, and cataracts. About 262 people will take part, including healthy volunteers and surgical patients. The goal is to see if this imaging tool improves surgical accuracy and outcomes.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Microscope integrated optical coherence tomography (MIOCT) device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve surgical precision and outcomes for various eye surgeries by providing real-time 3D imaging during procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on imaging quality, not treatment outcomes. The device may not improve surgical results or could be difficult to use in practice.
