In this editorial, we share our insights gained through extensive experience with the innovative Beyeonics One™ surgical visualization system across 48 diverse ophthalmic surgical procedures. We highlight its distinct advantages, such as enhanced immersive 3D visualization, ergonomic improvements, rapid autofocus, and innovative use of head gestures, as well as acknowledge its limitations including the learning curve, setup complexities, and cost considerations.
