| Summary |
This book is the first of its kind to present the engineering aspects of medical vision ophthalmology. It showcases an array of amazing systems and devices involving biomimetic microrobotics and artificial muscles. It introduces ophthalmology and the fundamentals of vision and discusses robotic surgical systems, implantable micropump assemblies, and synthetic muscle-based diaphragm pump apparatuses. It throws light on the surgical correction of ptosis by polymeric artificial muscles as well as systems and devices for correcting hyperopia, myopia, and presbyopia. The book also reviews synthetic muscle-based multi-powered active contact lenses, surgical correction of human-eye refractive errors using active composite artificial muscle implants, and double-accommodating intraocular accordion lens |

David Soltanpour is a general ophthalmologist and owns a practice called BQE Ophthalmology in New York, USA. He is also associated with Century Medical and Dental Clinic, Brooklyn and Manhattan, New York and is an associate adjunct physician at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, New York. His 27 years as an ophthalmologist involve bioengineering research experience in cochlear implant for hearing loss and working with a diverse patient population. He holds a New York medical license, board certification in ophthalmology, and multiple patents in ophthalmology applications and devices using smart materials, such as shape-memory alloys (SMAs), ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) artificial muscles, and other engineering modalities. Parsa Shahinpoor is an internal medicine physician, specializing primarily in adult hospital medicine, and is associated with a large multispecialty medical group Northwest Permanente PC, OR, USA. He is also a quality improvement administrator and is currently the clinical lead of the regional sepsis quality improvement initiative of Kaiser Permanente Northwest, Washington, DC, USA. He has also held an academic appointment at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, NM, USA. He has prior bioengineering research experience in spine biomechanics, cardiovascular implants, and ophthalmic implants. He has been in practice for 14 years and possesses proficiency in the biomedical application of smart materials, such as SMAs and IPMC artificial muscles |
