Purpose : 3D printing is a method of manufacturing in which materials, such as plastic or metal, are deposited onto one another in layers to produce a three dimensional object, such as a pair of eye glasses or other 3D objects. This process contrasts with traditional ink-based printers
which produce a two dimensional object (ink on paper). Recent advances in printing materials have now enabled 3D printers to make objects that are comparable with
traditionally manufactured items. In contrast with conventional printers, 3D printing has the potential to enable mass customisation of goods on a large scale and has relevance in medicine including ophthalmology. We Aim to make innovative and low cost devices in Ophthalmology using this technology .
Methods : 3D doodling may be used which is a pen which extrudes a PLA or ABS filament at a high temperature which can be given any desired shape. Using the Aurolab retieye , different retinal diseases may be simulated for better training of doctors . We have made a model to simulate proliferative diabetic retinopathy with 3D printing. In the same way 3D printing may be used to make Fundus simulator for different pathologies .
Results : We have developed a 3D printed BIOM plate made of nylon material which could lower the cost by 1/10th of the traditional manufacturing processes .
We have developed a 3D printed stand with an array of lenses to make a smartphone based Gonioscope imaging device , to visualize the anterior chamber angle .
Conclusion : 3D printing has already been proved viable in several medical applications including the manufacture of eyeglasses, custom prosthetic devices and dental implants . The applications of this technology would continue to grow with time .
