چکیده
Robotic surgery is becoming increasing popular, yet the range of applications is still very limited. One of these underutilized areas is ocular procedures. This paper presents an outline of the state-ofthe-art in this field noting how robots can greatly improve the treatment of many eye conditions as well as how ophthalmic use of robotics continues to offer challenging problems.

Robotic Surgery in Ophthalmology
Innovations in ophthalmology have developed rapidly in recent years with the advent of small incision surgery and the engineering of more efficient phacoemulsification and vitrectomy machines(Georgescu, Kuo et al. 2008; Hubschman, Bourges et al. 2009). We feel that these latest developments lend themselves to the mechanization of ocular surgery, and the next major advancement in ophthalmology w...
