Vídeo shows how a 3D printer helps an ophthalmologist surgeon. We will propose a new device to use in a complicated intraoperative cataract surgery. First, this device was designed in a 3D program used in Hollywood movies. Secondly, this archive will be printed in a 3D printer. The material is biocompatible and did not cause any problems to the patient's eye.
