Technological advancements in Spanish ophthalmology
Overview
Spanish hospitals are increasingly adopting advanced technologies to improve ophthalmic surgical precision and patient outcomes.
At Hospital de Conxo, the ophthalmology department has expanded its surgical activity by 55.7% over a four-year period. By 2025, the service had reduced average waiting times and integrated technologies such as OCT-guided femtosecond lasers and the Ngenuity 3D visualization system, which utilizes artificial intelligence. The facility serves as a specialized center for complex ocular reconstructions and intraocular tumors.
Similarly, Hospital Universitario Sant Joan d’Alacant has implemented the Artevo 850, a 3D digital microscope system. This technology allows surgical teams to view high-definition, three-dimensional images on large screens rather than through traditional eyepieces, enhancing depth perception during delicate procedures like cataract surgery and retinal detachment repair. The system also reportedly reduces light intensity on the patient’s eye, improving safety and postoperative comfort.
