O
n a winter's evening in 2017, Chris Fuller, MD, was
about to cut into the most vibrant green bell pepper
he had ever seen. "It was splayed before me, in bril-
liant 4K high-def glory, on a 55-inch flat screen moni-
tor," recalls Dr. Fuller, an ophthalmologist at Texas
Retina Associates in Fort Worth. He slipped on a pair of 3D glasses
and grabbed microsurgical forceps to deftly extract the pepper's
seeds. He was practicing with the new heads-up display in prepara-
tion for using it the next morning during an actual surgery. "Since
then, I've never looked back," says Dr. Fuller. "I'm a huge champion
of the technology."
