New technological progress in robotics has brought many beneficial clinical
applications. Currently, computer integrated robotic surgery has gained clinical
acceptance for several surgical procedures. Robotically assisted eye surgery is
envisaged as a promising solution to overcome the shortcomings inherent to
conventional surgical procedures as in vitreoretinal surgeries. Robotics by its
high precision and fine mechanical control can improve dexterity, cancel tremor,
and allow highly precise remote surgical capability, delicate vitreoretinal
manipulation capabilities. Combined with magnified three-dimensional imaging of
the surgical site, it can enhance surgical precision. Tele-manipulation can
provide the ability for tele-surgery or haptic feedback of forces generated by
the manipulation of intraocular tissues. It presents new solutions for some
sight-threatening conditions such as retinal vein cannulation where, due to
physiological limitations of the surgeon's hand, the procedure cannot be
adequately performed. In this paper, we provide an overview of the research and
advances in robotically assisted vitreoretinal eye surgery. Additionally the
barriers to the integration of this method in the field of ocular surgery are
summarized. Finally, we discuss the possible applications of the method in the
area of vitreoretinal surgery.
