title: Scientific revolution.
abstract: Has science truly reached its ultimate peak? Some may say that it has, and that our current knowledge base is as good as it is going to get. If we look closely, we may see that we are not standing on the peak, but rather on the edge of a grand precipice that overlooks a future filled with infinite possibilities. There is so much in the universe, and even on our own planet, that we still do not understand. How we choose to validate new knowledge will largely determine how future technologies will be developed for the benefit of man. Perhaps all fields of medicine are still in an infantile stage. There is so much that we have learned, but think of how much more there is to understand. For example, the project called the Fugo Bladetrade mark is now penetrating into multiple fields of medicine outside of ophthalmology. It employs plasma fields to perform surgery. Plasma technology may dramatically revolutionize the way surgery is performed. Rather than cutting or burning tissue, plasma allows us to ablate tissue using very low powers and even allows for portable systems. Plasma offers clean incisions with non-cauterizing hemostasis and less swelling. Other changes in the field of ophthalmology are dramatic. Dr. Daljit Singh has introduced decompression of aqueous from the posterior chamber of the eye, which is an immense step forward for glaucoma. These advances ultimately benefit the patient. Yet, because no major corporate machine owns the rights to this technology, it is often difficult to get the message out.
