Gonçalves had suffered from "vision deterioration" since childhood, with her eyesight measuring 200/20 according to British standards, meaning she was close to complete blindness. However, after undergoing surgery, her vision has now improved to 20/20, the standard for perfect vision, after having worn corrective glasses throughout her life.
The surgery, which employed an innovative technique, involved creating a digital replica of her eyeballs. It took approximately 10 minutes to scan the eye and gather data using digital cloning technology. The computer then simulated about 2,000 different laser beams to select the most effective one for improving her vision. The procedure cost £6,500.
This technique is part of recent advancements in the medical field using artificial intelligence, with similar.
