Advances in Ocular Surgery and Virtual Environment Technology

The field of ocular surgery and virtual environment technology is moving towards more precise and minimally invasive procedures. Researchers are developing new mathematical models to understand the interactions between contact lenses and the ocular surface, which could lead to improved contact lens design and reduced discomfort for users. Robotic systems are being integrated with optical coherence tomography to enhance visualization and precision in surgical procedures such as capsule cleaning. Teleoperation methods are being explored in virtual eye surgery environments to improve surgical efficiency and accuracy. Additionally, studies are being conducted on the effects of level of detail and system responsiveness on user performance in virtual environments, which could inform the design of more effective and immersive virtual reality systems. Notable papers include:

  • A study on quantifying ocular surface changes with contact lens wear, which presents a new mathematical model for understanding contact lens interactions.
  • A paper on safe robotic capsule cleaning, which demonstrates a robotic system capable of performing capsule cleaning procedures with integrated optical coherence tomography.
  • Research on the effects of system responsiveness on user performance in virtual environments, which highlights the importance of controlling system responsiveness to improve user performance.
