Too many intravitreal injections? Swiss start-up Ophthorobotics is building a robot that will do it for you!

The demand for intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents, for example, is increasing with the aging of the population - in some countries to such an extent that it can no longer be covered by physicians. While in some countries the injections are now performed by medical assistants, in other countries these injections must be performed by physicians. The Swiss start-up Ophthorobotics is developing a robot that automatically performs intravitreal injections.

The fact that this works well is proven by about 5000 subjective refractions performed by patients themselves every day.
