Zhongshan Eye Center at the Sun Yat-sen University has achieved a milestone in the field of eye surgery （手术）. Doctors there completed the world's first remote （远程的）, micron（纳米的） operation on animals by using an independently developed 5G robot. The operation, which took place on June 23 at the center in Guangzhou, was done by a medical team operating the robot from the Zhongshan Eye Center in Haikou.
The main part of the robot is a special arm that makes accurate （精准的） remote control possible. When doctors' hands come to treating eye problems, the common way is to put medicine directly into the eye area. But their hands shake naturally, making it difficult to be very accurate. The robot can copy tasks usually done by hand, and itperforms them smoothly and accurately.
Another advantage is that even young doctors can perform eye surgery with 5G robot's help. According to Professor Lin, the leader of the medical team, becoming a skilled eye doctor takes at least 10 years of practice. However, with the help of the robot, young doctors can achieve a high level of accuracy comparable to experienced doctors.
The third important point is that using 5G makes it possible for doctors to treat patients far away. Eye doctors can get clear and timely pictures, which makes remote operations dependable.
Still, it's important to remember that while this technology is promising, more research and tests are needed to make sure it's safe and works well for patients. "If everything goes well, 5G remote micro n eye surgery will be available to humans within half a year, "Lin said. The team will keep working hard to help develop remote medicine in China and increase national medical levels.
