Abstract:
Concerning optimization of ophthalmosurgical interventions at human eyes, a knowledge based assistance system is developed to support the decision process of the surgeons before the real operation at the human eye. This is performed especially for cataract operations, when the real dark lens has to be removed and an artificial lens system must be implanted. Especially for complicated and complex interventions the computer-based system will be a helpful tool. The system has to guarantee a fast and efficient access to all operation relevant information. The result of such a concept should be an enhancement of operational quality and so an enhancement of the patient contentment. This means a very important factor for the human life quality.
