Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robotic ophthalmic endoscope holders allow surgeons to execute dual-hand operations in eye surgery. To prevent needle-like endoscopes from invading the retina when moving, surgeons expect visual and real-time information about the relative special relationship between the endoscope and fundus.
