Abstract

We developed a telemedicine support system with which the transmission of 3D high definition images is possible. The trial was carried out using pig´s eyes. Each step in this operation took place through an ophthalmologist´s instructions to the operator who had no experience with cataract operations. In the end, we had highly successful results on delivery of the image and voice. The operation went smoothly without stopping. This system can smoothly deliver huge volumes of data at low-cost, and would be a useful system for telemedicine. Operators to viewing time with no asthenopia more than some hours it was possible for view 3D high definition image.
