It requires a good source of illumination inside the eye so that the procedure can be performed safely. However, the conventional approach of using a hand-held light pipe is invasive, requires constant adjustments by the surgeon, prevents bimanual operation, and creates shadows because it is a single source of illumination. These issues may lead to increased risk of complication during surgery.<\/p>\r\n<p>To address this problem, this project explores the design of a wearable contact lens illuminator to provide illumination for vitrectomy. Unlike conventional methods, this solution is non-intrusive and allows bimanual operation. Using multiple light sources, it also provides shadowless illumination which can significantly enhance the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/edic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/05\/EIM-457-Wireless-non-intrusive-illumination-1024x824.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"824\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h3>Project Team<\/h3>\r\n<h4>Student:<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Yang Mingke (Electrical Engineering, Class of 2023)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>Supervisor:<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Jerald Yoo (<a href=\"mailto:jyoo@nus.edu.sg\">jyoo@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/edic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/05\/FS4_3085-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wireless non-intrusive illumination solution for vitrectomy surgery Vitrectomy is a type of eye surgery to treat various problems with the retina and vitreous.
