About
Harrison Cheng is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of ophthalmology and robotics, best known for developing the Intraocular Robotic Interventional Surgical System (IRISS). His work focuses on creating semi-automated surgical platforms that enhance precision in delicate eye procedures. Cheng’s landmark 2018 paper on IRISS, which has garnered 61 citations, introduced a novel system capable of performing OCT-guided cataract removal with semi-automated control—a critical step toward reducing human error in cataract extraction, the most common surgical procedure worldwide. Beyond this, his contributions address key sensing deficiencies in robotic eye surgery, aiming to prevent complications like posterior capsule rupture. By integrating real-time imaging with robotic manipulation, Cheng’s research pushes the boundaries of what is possible in intraocular surgery, offering safer, more reproducible outcomes. His work has been recognized for its translational potential, bridging engineering and clinical practice to improve vision restoration. For students and researchers, Cheng exemplifies how robotics can transform microsurgery, making complex procedures more accessible and reliable.
