NYEE Pioneers the First Clinical Robotic Interventional System for Ocular Surgery in America

During our Bicentennial Celebration Year, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE), America's first eye hospital founded in 1820, is once again breaking new ground by introducing a micro-surgical robotic system to the United States. The first clinical robotic interventional system for ocular surgery in America (only third in the world) arrived this summer from the Dutch medical robotics company, Preceyes BV, and has been installed in the Jorge N. Buxton Microsurgical Education Center. The system has the potential to revolutionize the delivery of sight-saving therapies and opens a new chapter in micro-interventional ophthalmic surgery in this country and globally.
