“…Teleoperated systems, such as the da Vinci surgical system 7,8 (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, US), or a parallel robot for vitreo-retinal surgery, 9 as well as cooperatively controlled hand-over-hand systems 10 and freehand active tremor-filtering systems 11 have been suggested to aid in eye surgery. The da Vinci system has been used to close a full thickness corneal and scleral laceration on a porcine eye, but for intraocular surgery the system was unable to create a self-sealing wound in the sclera.…”

“…The da Vinci system has been used to close a full thickness corneal and scleral laceration on a porcine eye, but for intraocular surgery the system was unable to create a self-sealing wound in the sclera. 8 Parallel robot systems have been proposed for intravitreal surgery, such as retinal vessel cannulation (RVC) or pars plana vitrectomy 8 because they can be designed to have a stable remote centre of motion. The steadyhand eye robot was developed at John Hopkins University to actively support the surgeon during an intervention, such as RVC and epiretinal membrane peeling, by cooperatively holding the surgical instrument.…”

Age-related visual loss and ageing demographics account for a large impact on societal health costs on a global scale. Efficient ocular surgery must be precise, safe and cost effective. Current research focuses on robotic systems to assist in ophthalmic surgery. Furthermore, several platforms for drug delivery in the posterior segment of the eye have been introduced. Moreover, magnetic manipulation of tethered and untethered structures has been suggested to assist in teleoperated ophthalmic surgery and targeted drug delivery in the posterior eye due to its many advantages. Magnetic manipulation systems generate magnetic fields and gradients to guide magnetic objects with high precision and force feedback. A hybrid actuation system for guiding a flexible catheter with a sharp edge magnetic tip has been introduced for capsulorhexis a major step in cataract surgery. Research has demonstrated the potential of wireless magnetic microrobots for targeted drug delivery and simple mechanical operations in the posterior eye segment inex vivoandin vivoexperiments.
