  • To know the OCT-Angio technology, where the high scan allows the study of blood vessels and blood circulation in the tissues of the eye, in a very short time and without the use of drugs.
  • To know the use of algorithms in the processing of imaging images of diabetic retinopathy and the remote rapid diagnosis.
  • To know the use of amniotic membrane cut in the shape of a contact lens, for the treatment of gingival process after surgeries or inflammation. Learn about Enchroma ocular lenses, which are given to people with color blindness (red or green) who separate the rays of color before they reach the eye.
  • To be informed about the daily silicone contact lenses with a tiny sensor that transmits wirelessly to a recording device, carried by the user, the 24-hour change of the IOP of the eye.
