This technology was developed by Dr. Amar Agarwal, chairman and managing director at Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital.
In pinhole pupilloplasty technique, size of the Pupil is reduced to less than 1.5 mm.
As we know that Blurred vision is caused in astigmatism as multiple light rays fall on the retina.
So in this technology the size of the pupil's diaphragm is reduced by suturing the edges. It prevents the light rays that enter from the periphery It leads to clear vision without glasses or contact lenses, since multiple light rays that cause blurred vision on the retina are blocked. This is the basic principle of pinhole pupilloplasty.
Doctor Amar Agarwal, the surgeon, has published his work and introduced this technology at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons Meeting.
