Abstract

To make neuro-ophthalmic concept learning and e-counselling better, we have innovated a 3D application (Eye_MG_Max) built on an advanced interactive 3D touch interface. Concepts of neuro-ophthalmology (circle of Willis, cavernous sinus, cranial nerves, visual pathway etc.) have lots of theoretical frameworks. Neophyte residents and patients may have to mentally visualise them during training and counselling respectively. Only a powerful cognitive tool like a 3D atlas, where users can choose their optimal frame, cross-section, and amount of zoom required to visualise various parts of the neuroanatomy structures, can fill in their cognitive mental gaps. Majority of users have already been using their smartphones to surf the internet for studying as well as to understand the disease process. e-Ophthalmology is the order of the day; thus carving a mobile application with user-friendly 3D augmented reality pertaining to anatomy and pathophysiology of neuro-ophthalmology is the way forward.
