“they” say you can’t feel a needle stuck through your pupil. In some countries, that is considered one form of torture. My response: you first...

Remarkable. My anticipation is one day doctors will inject robotic scrubbers they will pilot to remove arterial plaque as an outpatient procedure.
Totally can see it for work on eyes as well. What an interesting medical advancement. We truly live in incredible times.

Didnt realize there were that many pictures out there.That many pictures of a sci-fi classic like Fantastic Voyage? There are probably hundreds.

Much more benign than what Michael Crichton envisioned for tiny robots in Micro. He thought of the eye too but not to deliver medicine.

Reminds me of Borg nanoprobes.

I’m waiting for the nanobots that will seek out and remove floaties in my eyes.

Yep. They say they have some procedures now, but I will not try them.
Ophthalmology has some of its practitioners that are money grubbing fools — perhaps even a majority. Some of the worst cases of medical ethic abuse is by ophthalmologists.

I’d like some that could run my eye muscles where I could have eyes truly in sync.

“My anticipation is one day doctors will inject robotic ‘scrubbers’ they will pilot to remove arterial plaque as an outpatient procedure.”
There’s already a cheap, safe, non-invasive way to do this: taking high doses (non-toxic) of vitamin C and lysine.
Dr. Linus Pauling received unshared Nobel Prizes for his discoveries, including this.
But two inexpensive un-patentable supplements do not help the bottom line of hospitals where heart bypass surgeries are performed.
