This application, thanks to the iPad, works as an IOL simulator based on the type of IOL that is selected. The doctor will set the parameters of the patient’s pathology and, thanks to the iPad CAMERA, he will be able to see the surrounding environment through the IOL type that is selected by the patient/surgeon. This app requires LiDAR Scanner on iPad.
