A Sensorized Ophthalmic Endo-illuminator for Intraocular Surgery

Unmet Need Lack of force sensing is one of the most formidable technical challenges in retinal microsurgery. Incorporating high sensitivity force sensing into the ophthalmic tools has the potential to provide the surgeon useful force feedback and to enable safe robotic assistance. Forces exerted in retinal microsurgery are generally well below the...
