WHAT IS PRECEYES?

PRECEYES uses robots to assist eye surgeons during procedures. 

It allows greater precision of movement and removes hand tremors, which improves patient safety.

PRECEYES' tools are inserted into a small incision near a patient's pupil.

The tools are then able to perform complex tasks, such as removing membranes that are distorting people's vision.

The tools are then removed via the same incision.

Surgery speed is controlled by doctors via a foot pedal, with them being able to override the procedure at any time.
