About
Luca von Felten is a clinician-researcher advancing the frontiers of vitreoretinal surgery through the integration of advanced imaging and digital technology. His primary research focus lies in the development and clinical application of real-time intraoperative visualization tools, particularly for complex macular procedures. Von Felten’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on overlaying preoperative Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) thickness maps directly onto live surgical video feeds. His pilot study on this technique for epiretinal membrane peeling demonstrated a novel method to enhance surgical precision by providing dynamic, depth-aware guidance during membrane dissection, a significant step toward "smart" vitrectomy. While his most-cited paper (2025) has garnered early attention with 3 citations, its impact is expected to grow as the field moves toward augmented reality in ophthalmology. Von Felten’s work bridges the gap between diagnostic imaging and surgical execution, offering a tangible improvement in visualization for one of the most delicate procedures in retina surgery. His research is directly relevant for students and surgeons interested in the future of digitally-enhanced ophthalmic surgery.
