Digital OR IME Video Interview Series: Ergonomics and 3D Visualization

Watch Episode 2 on ESCRS Education Forum

In this episode of the ESCRS IME Digital Operating Room (DOR) video interview series, Prof. Gerd Auffarth and Dr. Amir Hamid examine how modern 3D visualization systems and improved ergonomics are transforming cataract surgery.
Many surgeons experience posture-related discomfort over the course of their careers. The experts discuss how digital microscopes and heads-up display systems can reduce physical strain while enhancing surgical visualization.
These technologies allow surgeons to maintain a more comfortable posture while performing procedures, improving both ergonomics and efficiency in the operating room.
The episode also highlights how high-quality 3D surgical viewing enhances teaching and training, enabling trainees and surgical teams to observe procedures in real time with greater clarity.
Learn how digital visualization tools can support safer surgery, improved teaching, and long-term sustainability in surgical practice.
