Abstract

Extended reality is one of the leading cutting‑edge technologies, which has not yet fully set foot into ophthalmology. We have used this novel technology and have created a holographic museum of various anatomical and pathological structures of the eyeball, cerebral venous system, cerebral arterial system, cranial nerves, and various parts of the brain in fine detail. These four-dimensional (4D) ophthalmic holograms created by us (patent pending) are cost‑effectively constructed with TrueColor confocal images, to serve as a new‑age immersive 4D diagnostic and counselling tool. Once imaging is done, Eye_MG software (innovated by us) converts the 2D images to 4D holograms in less than 60 seconds instantaneously with no chair time; and all dimensions of the eye from all the slices can be accessed. According to our knowledge, this concept of 4D diagnostic in ophthalmology has not been reported in the literature before.
