Robotics and computer-assisted technologies are introducing new approaches to precision and control in ophthalmic surgery. Advanced robotic platforms, surgical navigation systems, and computer-assisted instruments are being investigated to support highly delicate procedures that require exceptional accuracy and stability.
This session will explore emerging robotic technologies across vitreoretinal surgery, microsurgery, cataract procedures, and other ophthalmic interventions. Discussions will examine surgical assistance, instrument control, image-guided procedures, automation, and the potential integration of AI into robotic surgical systems.
The session will also address technological limitations, training requirements, cost considerations, clinical validation, and regulatory challenges. Experts will examine the future role of robotics in ophthalmology and how computer-assisted technologies may enhance surgical precision while maintaining the central role of experienced surgeons.
