ForSight Robotics reports 26 fully robot-assisted cataract surgeries

ForSight Robotics disclosed that its JASPER Robotic Surgical Platform has been employed in 26 cataract surgeries on human patients, each completed robotically without a switch to conventional techniques. The operations used the usual anesthesia methods—either topical drops or light sedation—and all patients left the clinic on the day of the procedure. Although the robot performed the physical movements, a surgeon directed the entire process through a telemanipulated interface, benefiting from high-definition 3D imaging, tremor filtering and real-time eye tracking.

The company emphasizes that the system is designed to fit within the existing outpatient cataract workflow rather than overhaul it. While the 100 % robotic completion rate is notable, the data set remains small and the device has not received regulatory approval for commercial deployment. Further clinical studies are planned to assess safety, efficacy and long-term outcomes.
