However, limited access and no deployment of assistive technology solutions across the ophthalmology sector has seen them take a backward turn in terms of executing even simple procedures such as cataract surgery. To steady the ship, and retain calmness in their processes, ophthalmologists are currently interacting with technology providers to unravel the mysteries that can bring their patients into the light with cost-effective and lesser invasive techniques. While developed markets have found a workflow with digital assistive mechanisms, the undeveloped often lack the financial power to obtain the innovations. An issue that most iconic technology providers are looking to curb by creating a structure that will have a global outreach at lower prices and quicker delivery times. Technology innovators and ophthalmology device manufacturers believe the current approach by professionals in the ophthalmic realm can present a positive outcome in solving first-hand issues before slowly moving to conquer the top problems. Early statistics of use cases suggest that the deployment of digital wares has largely improved efficiency to drive steady intervention outcomes. Through this edition of MedTech Outlook, our editorial team focuses on those computational solution vendors that offer platforms and mechanisms that empower ophthalmic professionals to move forward in a clinical environment with precision and confidence. The magazine features information on companies that are changing the frontier of ophthalmology by delivering innovations for objective functional testing of the retina, optic nerve, and visual cortex as well as IOL production.Let us know your thoughts!Making the World BrighterSarah FernandesEDITORIAL
