Seeing through a surgeon's new lens

Imagine the surgical suite of the future: An ophthalmologist, prepped for a cataract procedure, dons a pair of sleek, augmented reality (AR) glasses. As they approach the patient, a holographic data layout appears, detailing the patient's specific eye anatomy, prior surgeries, potential complications, and a guided surgical pathway for the phaco machine. This isn't just the stuff of science fiction; it's becoming our reality one day.
