Inclusion criteria

* Patients older than 18. * Pseudophakia patients with silicone oil in the vitreous cavity. * Silicone oil density of 1500 centistoke or 5500 CS. * Good corrected visual acuity (\> 6/10) in the second eye. * Lack of additional ocular pathology that would reduce the quality of vision during surgery (corneal scar, Posterior Capsular Opacity, low transmission in the implantable lens, non-expanded pupil).

Exclusion criteria

* Additional ocular pathology that would reduce the quality of vision during surgery (corneal scar, Posterior Capsular Opacity, low transmission in the implantable lens, non-expanded pupil). * The presence of heavy silicone oil (OXANE) in the vitreous cavity. * Posterior segment pathology in the second eye. * Special populations (children under the age of 18, pregnant women)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
3D perception of GlasScope surgical microscopeUp to 3 days after surgery3D perception of GlasScope surgical microscope is assessed by the surgeon ability to perform surgical gentle procedures using the surgical tools on the eye tissues - both inner and posterior parts of the eye.
Field of view of GlasScope surgical microscopeUp to 3 days after surgery
Depth of field of GlasScope surgical microscopeUp to 3 days after surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Surgeon fatigue and neck strain (questionnaire)Up to 7 days after surgeryQuestioning the surgeons after surgery on the pain and stress during the use of Glasscope causing decreased performance/lack of concentration/fatigue, the complexity on keeping the eye-piece image in the surgeon sight, how the instrument prevents the surgeon situation awareness in the operating room, the stress and fatigue on the surgeon eyes for long duration of observation in the image
