Abstract
PURPOSE: Modern vitreo-retinal surgery has scaled new frontiers with the advent of better instrumentation. However, physiological tremors, intraocular dexterity and difficulty in visualization hamper minimally invasive retinal surgery. Robotics has the potential to overcome these limitations and improve surgical outcomes. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the advances made in the field of robotics in vitreo-retinal surgery.
