Robotic cataract surgery will match and then exceed the skills of a human surgeon, at least for routine cases.
The human eyes perceive 25 to 30 frames per second as fluid and smooth, which is why video streaming is limited to this frame rate. With a robotic surgical system, we can have real-time imaging with OCT and video at a frame rate much higher than this, including the ability to detect clear structures such (Read more...)
