How Do Surgical Robots Assist in Eye Surgery?
💡 The Answer
- Robots like the Preceyes system enable sub‑millimeter incisions for retinal procedures.
- They scale down hand movements by over 100 times, making micro‑suturing possible.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is integrated to guide the robot in real time.
- This reduces the risk of tearing delicate retinal tissue during operations like membrane peeling.
