One of the benefits of surgical robotics is the potential to bring standardized precision to procedures performed almost anywhere and by almost anyone. However, most systems have focused on everything below the neck.
ForSight Robotics aims to bring the same advantages to eye surgery and has raised $10 million to embark on building a miniaturized system with the goal of bringing vision-correcting procedures to a wider population.
