Army Hospital Achieves Glaucoma Care Milestone
A special hospital for the army in Delhi did something very important for eye care.
They used a new and advanced way to help people with a disease called glaucoma, which can make people blind.
This new method lets doctors see inside the eye in real-time using special 3D pictures.
This helps them do their job more precisely and makes the treatment better.
It's the first time this has been done in India, and it's a big step forward for medical care, especially for the army.
This new technology will help keep soldiers' eyes healthy and make sure they can see well for their jobs.
Army Hospital (Research & Referral) in Delhi Cantonment performed India's first 3D flex aqueous angiography with iStent.
The procedure combines advanced imaging with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.
It offers real-time visualization of aqueous outflow pathways for precise interventions.
The breakthrough uses a state-of-the-art 3D operating microscope and the new stand-mounted Spectralis system.
This milestone sets a new benchmark in glaucoma care and improves patient outcomes.
