Simulating Video Capturing for Phacoemulsification Surgery Using Aftermarket Cameras

Abstract

The main purposes of picture archiving systems produced by medical imaging modalities is used for diagnosis and research purposes, include in eye surgery field. In doing modern surgery such ophthalmologic, doctors operate eye's internal lens, which is small objects, so they are prone to making mistakes. The postoperative procedure is required to evaluate the intervention results. The microscope ophthalmologic surgery equipment uses trinocular which can be installed with a digital camera to record intervention activities for reflective purposes. In this study besides using that main digital camera, we explore the possibility to employ one or more aftermarket digital cameras, such as smart phone or action camera. Close-Up lens will also be used for increasing the object image obtains by the cameras. The uses of aftermarket cameras give beneficial for mobile operation-theatre or application in the rural area. The objective of this exploration is to get insight about the possibilities and functions of this kind of cameras, whether it may effectively be used. We used an image of eye rather than real eye. The results show that combining camera with close-up lens helps to obtain bigger size of images/videos although some further improvement is still required.
