We begin with this anecdote with which Dr. Muiños opened his presentation; without a doubt, a sign that new technologies and advances in medicine have not stopped ... nor will they stop. The renowned ophthalmologist told CORPUS:
“I remember in the year 85, when we operated a cataract we had them asleep with general anesthesia: we were doing an operation where we cut the cornea 180 degrees, we took all the cataract and we gave - if we were lucky - 8 points (the normal thing was 12 points).
Then we had the patient one week lying with our eyes closed and we put on those “bottle ass” glasses that they surely remember from their grandparents.
¿What's up today? Nowadays we do it with Local anesthesia; only with drops. We make a 1,7 mm incision. Over there, we enter and prepare the waterfall and put a lens that unfolds inside. Y the patient comes out more or less watching.
We have reached a degree of technology in ophthalmology, which is progressing. And this is achieving, that more and more people demand refractive surgery ”
In this paper at CORPUS, Dr. Muiños tells us what is refractive surgery, what techniques are currently used and especially What does the future of ophthalmology hold in the coming years?
Do not miss it. He will talk to us, among other interesting topics, about "Robotic hands", Artificial Intelligenceof telemedicine and telesurgery, of the multifocal lenses of the future and of the lens customization that are being studied and created in laboratories and that will give us higher quality visual.
With this event, organized by Canary Doctor and Visible Salud, we seek to understand what our sector holds in the coming years?
An appointment for understand the future of health, help create it, make it tangible and offer solutions.
Be part of the change. CORPUS is, without a doubt, a meeting point to boost the conversation on this subject, seeking to offer, both to professionals in the area and to the general public, a Common place to reflect and connect with the future of health inside and outside the Canary Islands.
We hope you enjoy this presentation, one of the 4 that were presented on November 15, 2019 at the Tenerife Auditorium, within the framework of the 1st edition of CORPUS.
