**3.3 3D and 4D holographic diagnosing and counseling workflows**

The real-time TrueColor confocal images of each patient can be viewed immediately and simultaneously once the patient has completed the advised diagnostic

investigations. Also, they can be compared side by side with their previous baseline and other analyses in 4D. This is less time-consuming, eco-friendly and patients can be counseled by showing their pathological images without plastic eyeball models.

After completion of each diagnostic procedure, the patient's data will automatically get stored in the hospital database. Eye MG, the 4D Holographic translational software, will access this hospital database to take the patient's scanned images and project them as 4D holograms (Video 3, https://youtu.be/xZ2b4d89ngk). These holograms can then be used for patient counseling. The whole process will take approximately 60 seconds (**Figure 9**). These holographic case sheets will be stored each time the patient visits. So, for every visit the patient makes after the first time, their condition can easily be matched with their previous hologram side by side.
