    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Surgical Simulation

    Background:

    • Vitreoretinal microsurgery requires advanced technologies for intraoperative tasks.
    • Frequent evaluation of new surgical tools necessitates affordable, reusable training models.
    • Current eye phantoms may not adequately simulate complex intraocular conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a cost-effective, reusable artificial eye phantom for intraocular imaging and force-sensing tool development.
    • To evaluate materials for simulating epiretinal membranes in a surgical phantom.
    • To validate the phantom's utility in testing microsurgical instruments.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed and constructed an artificial eye phantom for surgical simulation.
    • Tested four candidate materials for simulating epiretinal membranes.
    • Utilized a handheld tremor-canceling micromanipulator with force-sensing micro-forceps.
    • Measured peeling forces during simulated membrane removal.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully developed an artificial eye phantom suitable for surgical tool evaluation.
    • Identified materials that effectively simulate epiretinal membranes.
    • Demonstrated peeling forces comparable to those in clinical vitreoretinal surgery.
    • Validated the use of force-sensing micro-forceps for measuring surgical forces.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed artificial eye phantom is a valuable, cost-effective tool for advancing vitreoretinal microsurgery.
    • The phantom enables realistic simulation of epiretinal membrane peeling, crucial for training and technology development.
    • This research facilitates the evaluation of novel intraocular imaging and force-sensing technologies.
