Comparison of Ergonomics in Vitreoretinal Surgery With Heads-up Visualization Versus the Standard Operating Microscope as Measured by a Wearable Device.

Background And Objective: Three-dimensional heads-up display (HUD) systems have emerged as an alternative to standard operating microscope (SOM) in the operating room. The goal of this study was to quantitatively measure vitreoretinal surgeon posture across visualization methods.

Methods: Ergonomic data was collected from 64 cases at two tertiary eye care centers.
