On April 16, 2024, ophthalmic surgical robotics company ForSight Robotics announced that itsORYOMTM Surgical RobotThe first robotic cataract surgery has been completed.

Renowned cataract surgeon and former ASCRS president David F. Chang, M.D., shares a surgical video and discusses the future potential of this breakthrough technology.

# Research and Development Background

It is estimated that 2.2 billion people worldwide suffer from visual impairment, with cataract corrective surgery being one of the most common surgical procedures in the world, performed over 28 million times annually.

According to a study in the Global Public Health Journal, this burden is estimated to cause losses of $3 trillion annually in productivity, healthcare, and social care.

ButCurrent Challenges in Ophthalmic Surgery: Limitations in Manual Precision, Insufficient Number of Specialist Doctors, and the Need for Years of Clinical Experience to Achieve Surgical Accuracy.

Therefore, ophthalmic surgical robots seem to be the standard equipment for future ophthalmic surgeries.The market size will continue to expand.

# ORYOMTM^™Surgical Robotics Platform

The ORYOM™ Surgical Robot System isThe First Hybrid Intraocular Robotic Ophthalmic Platform, combined withFields of microsurgical robotics, computer visualization, and machine learningThe cutting-edge technology automates ophthalmic surgeries.

Product Features:

Able to perform therapeutic and preventive ophthalmic surgeries: such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal diseases.

Flexible operation, high precision:With 14 micro degrees of freedom, capable of performing delicate tasks;

AdoptHybrid Motion Structure:Allow doctors to operate at any point within the human eye;

Advanced Visualization:The most advanced stereoscopic imaging technology is used for surgical planning and real-time image guidance;

Data Analysis:Utilize the most advanced computational methods with machine learning to continuously evolve and refine surgical techniques.

# Relevant Evaluation

David F. Chang, M.D., stated at the ASCRS Annual Meeting:

"This is the first video showing how to perform surgery on an animal's eye using a surgical robot. I completed the entire surgery from 20 feet away using robotic arms."

"Using the ORYOM™ surgical robot's mechanical arm is like using my own hands—it’s very flexible and highly accurate."

Joseph Nathan, Ph.D., Co-founder, President, and Chief Medical Officer of ForSight Robotics, stated:

"This is an exciting milestone for us, as we have not previously demonstrated how ORYOMTM performs cataract surgery in a public conference forum.

Hope inDr. David F. Chang and othersWith the support of renowned cataract surgeons,ForSight

Robotics can"Transforming the Future of Ophthalmic Surgery."
