Cornea, cataract, and refractive ophthalmologist at SightMD and co-developer of ScopeXR, a mixed reality surgical platform for Apple Vision Pro. Publicly credited as the first surgeon in the world to perform cataract surgery using Apple Vision Pro, in October 2025.
Mixed reality surgical visualization platform built for Apple Vision Pro. Streams live 3D feeds from digital surgical microscopes and overlays diagnostic data into visionOS, with real-time remote collaboration that lets off-site surgeons, mentors, and consultants virtually join procedures via secure two-way audio.
ClinicalTrials.gov registered a recruiting prospective observational study sponsored by ScopeXR investigator Eric Rosenberg to evaluate Apple Vision Pro as an adjunct visualization and information display during intraocular surgery. The record estimates 70 participants and keeps standard microscopes and displays as the primary visualization pathway.
SightMD ophthalmologist Dr. Eric Rosenberg becomes the first surgeon to perform cataract surgery using Apple Vision Pro mixed reality, powered by the ScopeXR platform he co-developed. The initial procedure was completed in October 2025 and hundreds of additional cases have followed.
