Abstract
The visualization of the surgical process remains a topical issue in cataract surgery. The review presents the history of visualization technique in ophthalmic surgery and compares the main current analogue and 3D digital technologies. The advent of 3D imaging systems in clinical practice has helped solve many issues associated with the use of standard analogue microscopes. These issues include limited focus and field of vision, the need to use a large amount of light, which increases the risk of iatrogenic retinal phototoxicity, the surgeon's attachment to the microscope and, consequently, a high load on the surgeon's visual apparatus when using eyepieces, as well as on their back and neck muscles.
