Purpose Of Review: Technologies in healthcare incorporating artificial intelligence tools are experiencing rapid growth in static-image-based applications such as diagnostic imaging. Given the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI)-technologies created for video-based imaging, ophthalmic microsurgery is likely to experience significant benefits from the application of emerging technologies to multiple facets of the care of the surgical patient.
Recent Findings: Proof-of-concept research and early phase clinical trials are in progress for AI-based surgical technologies that aim to provide preoperative planning and decision support, intraoperative image enhancement, surgical guidance, surgical decision-making support, tactical assistive technologies, enhanced surgical training and assessment of trainee progress, and semi-autonomous tool control or autonomous elements of surgical procedures.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the progression and surgical outcomes of lamellar macular holes (LMHs) through a review of clinical data from various healthcare centers.
- Out of 178 eyes assessed, 89 were monitored without surgery while the other 89 underwent surgical intervention, showing better visual acuity improvements in the operated group than those who were observed.
- Factors influencing better visual outcomes post-surgery included better baseline vision, presence of epiretinal membranes, and techniques related to the peeling of the internal limiting membrane, with some complications like full-thickness macular holes occurring in a small percentage of both groups.
Ultrasonic Vitrectomy Performance Assessment Using Micro-Extensional Rheology.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of ultrasonic (US) vitrectomy devices by quantifying and comparing its impact on extracted vitreous properties to conventional pneumatic blade (PB) cutters using micro-extensional rheology. US vitrectomy is a new technology that offers an alternative to PB cutters used in vitreo-retinal surgeries.
Methods: Thirty-six porcine vitreous samples were extracted using US and PB cutters.
