The world’s first remote corneal surgery

iVis Technologies is pleased to announce the closing of a framework agreement with TIM, the Politecnico di Bari and the University of Bari to perform, by the end of October, as a world premiere, the first remotely controlled corneal surgery, exploiting the revolutionary technology of the 4D Suite ™, the 5G infrastructure provided by TIM, the know-how and technical skills of the Polytechnic of Bari and the scientific-clinical expertise of the Ophthalmology Clinic of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bari.

The surgery is the first step to demonstrate the future opportunities of remote-control technologies, guaranteeing all patients quality and homogeneity of performance, regardless of the surgical site, even in delocalized areas where skilled operators are not available.
