Abstract

Ophthalmic surgery has the characteristics of high precision, small operating range, need of microscopic vision, and sensitive feedback, which put forward special requirements for surgical robots. The da Vinci robot, intraocular robotic interventional surgical system, hand-held micromanipulator, and co-manipulation robot have been developed and applied in various ophthalmic surgeries. These surgical robots have shown the advantages of improving the operation accuracy, stability, and dexterity in the ocular surface, cataract, and retinal surgeries.
