Abstract

|
|
3D printing technology may support technology to make 3D shape by stacking necessary materials by utilizing 3D modeling data in various fields. In the medical field, manufacturing a human body model or a surgical guide suitable for the individual characteristics can plan the surgery, which has the advantage of increasing the success rate of the operation. In the field of ophthalmology, many researchers tried to manufacture medical devices using 3D printing, such as implant templates for orbital reconstruction, glasses for patients with facial deformities, retina imaging adapter for retinal photography with a smartphone, trocar- cannulas for ocular vitreoretinal surgery, ocular or orbital prosthesis. Corneal tissue regeneration for corneal transplantation has been tried using 3D bioprinting. Because of the increased use of medical devices manufactured using 3D printers for patients, Ministry of Food and Drug Safety continues to provide guidelines for the regulatory system of customized medical devices using 3D printers. In this review, we provide the basic concepts of 3D printing and the current and future development of customized medical devices that utilize 3D printing in the field of ophthalmology.
