About

Dr. Hiroshi Enaida is a pioneering ophthalmic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of robotics and microsurgery, specifically targeting the delicate challenges of macular surgery. His primary research focus is the development and clinical application of customized passive surgical support robots designed to enhance precision in procedures like internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. Dr. Enaida’s major contributions include the first quantitative evaluation system for hand tremor during ILM peeling, demonstrating how a tailored passive robot can significantly suppress involuntary tremor—a game-changer for achieving sub-millimeter accuracy. His landmark 2023 study on customizing a passive surgical support robot for ophthalmic specifications has garnered 8 citations, while his 2024 investigation into tremor suppression during ILM peeling (4 citations) provides concrete, data-driven evidence of the robot’s efficacy. Through his work in *International Ophthalmology Clinics*, he has also authored comprehensive reviews on robotics-assisted tools in macular surgery, solidifying his role as a key translator of engineering innovation into surgical practice. Dr. Enaida’s research not only advances the safety and outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery but also lays the groundwork for broader adoption of robotic assistance in ophthalmology.
