Gazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları A.D., Ankara, Doç. Dr. Vitreoretinal surgery has relied heavily on technological advances to advance the field. In particular, the introduction of new viewing technologies and significant improvements over established techniques have allowed this ophthalmic subspecialty to develop at an accelerated rate. The latest viewing systems allow truly remarkable views of the retina, where the surgeon can appreciate nearly the entirety of the fundus with dazzling clarity. Improved illumination systems allow flexibility in lighting all or parts of the retina, and enhanced lens design and optics permit the surgeon to work on one part of the retina while making sure that his/ her manipulations do not cause retinal breaks at the retinal periphery. The results may be shorter operating times, enhanced surgeon comfort and perhaps better surgical outcomes. Keywords : Viewing systems, vitreoretinal surgery
