‘incredible’ future of safer eye surgery
Dr Ben LaHood was one of the first eye surgeons to use the new 3D digital microscope at Tennyson Centre Day Hospital
Revolutionary eye-surgery technology is available for the first time in Australia, offering patients and surgeons a peek into the future – and a safer operating environment.
Adelaide’s Tennyson Centre Day Hospital has invested in the Zeiss Artevo digital microscope, a world-first innovation that allows surgeons to visualise the eye’s delicate inner structures in 3D.
“The 3D technology is incredible – it really does feel like the future of surgery,” said cataract and refractive surgeon Dr Ben LaHood, one of the first to use the device at Tennyson when it was introduced in late January 2021.
