Abstract

BACKGROUND: Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) requires surgeons to manipulate fragile eye tissue at the microscale. The limited perceptual accuracy of surgeons makes it difficult to precisely position the forceps. Robot technology provides a feasible way to improve the performance of CCC.
