ABSTRACT
Ophthalmic surgery is any type of operation performed on the eye, the anatomy of which is shown in Fig. 3.1. Eyes are sensitive organs, and their surgical workspace is relatively small. Thus, higher precision is required when performing ocular surgical operations as compared to surgeries on other organs. There are limitations of a surgeon’s hand precision. Their hands may also fail in making precise moves during long surgeries. Introduction of robots for ophthalmic surgeries can solve this issue. Intraocular surgery involves various types of eye surgery, such as glaucoma, refractive, corneal, vitreoretinal, eye muscle, oculoplastic, eyelid, orbital, eye removal, cataract removal, and so on, which are briefly described in the following.
