Engineering Aspects of Medical Vision Ophthalmology

By Mohsen Shahinpoor, David Soltanpour, Parsa Shahinpoor

This groundbreaking book is the first of its kind to delve into the engineering aspects of medical vision ophthalmology. It presents a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in biomimetic microrobotics and artificial muscles, and their applications in ophthalmology.

Ophthalmology and the Fundamentals of Vision

The book begins by introducing the fundamentals of ophthalmology and the intricacies of human vision. It provides a detailed explanation of how the human eye functions and the various vision disorders that can affect it.

Robotic Surgical Systems and Implantable Micropump Assemblies

The authors then delve into the world of robotic surgical systems and implantable micropump assemblies. These cutting-edge technologies are revolutionizing the field of ophthalmology by providing surgeons with more precise and minimally invasive tools to correct vision disorders.

Synthetic Muscle-Based Diaphragm Pump Apparatuses

Another key area covered in the book is the development of synthetic muscle-based diaphragm pump apparatuses. These innovative devices are designed to mimic the natural movement of the human diaphragm, providing a more efficient and effective way to treat respiratory disorders.

Surgical Correction of Vision Disorders

The book also explores various surgical techniques for correcting common vision disorders such as ptosis, hyperopia, myopia, and presbyopia. It discusses the use of polymeric artificial muscles for the surgical correction of ptosis, as well as systems and devices designed to correct refractive errors.

Synthetic Muscle-Based Multi-Powered Active Contact Lenses

One of the most exciting advancements covered in the book is the development of synthetic muscle-based multi-powered active contact lenses. These revolutionary lenses have the potential to provide users with seamless vision correction and could potentially replace traditional glasses and contact lenses.

Surgical Correction of Human-Eye Refractive Errors

The authors also discuss the surgical correction of human-eye refractive errors using active composite artificial muscle implants. This innovative approach offers a promising solution for individuals suffering from vision disorders that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

Double-Accommodating Intraocular Accordion Lens

Finally, the book reviews the development of the double-accommodating intraocular accordion lens. This groundbreaking device is designed to restore near vision in patients with presbyopia, providing them with clear vision at all distances.
