Over 2.2 billion people across the globe face significant barriers to accessing essential ophthalmic care, with elderly, rural, and refugee populations being disproportionately affected. These obsta-cles deepen existing disparities in eye care. 3D printing is a novel technology that has potential transform field improve access through alleviating many patient-specific barriers. This article delves into evolution of within ophthalmology, highlighting its current ap-plications future potential. It explores various techniques biomaterials, dis-cussing their effectiveness creating advanced solutions such as bioengineered corneas, ocular prosthetics, innovative treatments for dry syndrome. Additionally, rev-olutionized drug delivery systems conditions like glaucoma, retinal diseases, brachytherapy. Despite promise, integration clinical practice presents challenges, which addresses alongside strategies overcoming them. By mapping out technological advancements this review offers roadmap enhancing global care accessibility improving patient outcomes on scale.
