IOLSCOPE helps not only in detecting tissue affected by mucor, but also makes sure that the surgeon does not leave any fungus behind; similar to the principles employed by a 'Frozen section' in conventional general surgery. In the technique proposed by us, we have used an undigested tissue sample, to quickly diagnose mucor, intra-operatively. Thus, in view of tackling the COVID-19 and mucor duplet, IOLSCOPE can be considered by ophthalmologists and otorhinolaryngologists for its rapid screening property, convenience of ease, good quality images and cost effectiveness.Indian journal of ophthalmology2844-2845https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8597490biostudies-literatureInnovative intra-operative rapid detection test for visualisation of mucor.PMC8597490Chandrakanth PRamesh MKRajasekaran RRamesh SVChandrakanth KSRamesh PVAji KJanakiram TNfalseInnovative intra-operative rapid detection test for visualisation of mucor.In this manuscript, we report a rapid intra-operative detection test for visualisation of mucor, with the use of the Smartphone-based intraocular lens microscope (IOLSCOPE).
