About the Academy: The American Academy of Ophthalmology is the world's largest association of eye physicians and surgeons with more than 32,000 members worldwide. Eye health care is provided by the three "O's" – ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians. It is the ophthalmologist who has the education and training to treat it all: eye diseases, infections and injuries, and perform eye surgery. Ophthalmologists provide comprehensive eye care, ranging from optical to medical to surgical. The mission of the Academy is to advance the lifelong learning and professional interests of ophthalmologists to ensure that the public can obtain the best possible eye care. Academy members are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for every individual they treat by helping each to see his or her best and by protecting their patients' vision and eye health throughout life. Academy members are committed to responding compassionately to their patients' individual needs and to advancing the highest standards of comprehensive eye care. The American Academy of Ophthalmology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

In Eye MG Max, a 3D eyeball model with TrueColor confocal fundus image, and all structures related to ophthalmology are provided in a user-friendly interface. In this application multiple views, along with transparency for viewing the structures passing through another model, free camera mode, annotated modes, customized zoomed views and videos related to any ophthalmic pathology is provided. Thus, providing a 3D atlas at the user’s fingertip for comprehensive learning. Free Mode: The user can explore the ‘3D View’ provided in the app, with Hide/Unhide option for various anatomical parts: - Skin - Skull - Meninges - Brainstem (BS) - Brain - Cranial Nerves (CNs) - Circle of Willis (CoW) - Brainstem Nucleus (BS Nuclei) - Optic Pathway (Optic Path) - Cerebral Venous System (CVS) - Eyeball (Eye) - Extraocular Muscles (EOM) Users can explore these structures separately from the main menu: - Eyeball - Optic Pathway - Brainstem Nucleus - Cranial Nerves - Cerebral Venous System - Circle of Willis - Skull - Supraorbital Fissure AR: AR is a view of the real, physical world in which the elements are enhanced by a computer-generated overlay. AR requires a real world entity that can be overlayed on. For example, the face of a person, or a particular design or QR code. Sometimes even just a plane such as the ceiling, floor or wall would be enough to get the computer generated overlay (augmented world) onto the real world. In Eye MG Max, we just make use of a plane recognition system to overlay ophthalmic concepts and anatomical 3d models over the real world that would help ophthalmic residents and neophytes to experience the real-time structures. Requirements for AR: - iPhone 11 / iPad 2nd Gen or later - iOS 13 / iPad OS or later Permissions: - Camera Permission for AR Other Features: Video Gallery: Videos related to various pathologies are given here.
