• Abstract: Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) is a partial-thickness corneal transplant procedure used to treat corneal stromal diseases. A crucial step in this procedure is the precise separation of the deep stroma from Descemet's membrane (DM) using the Big Bubble technique. To simplify the tasks of needle insertion and pneumo-dissection in this technique, we previously developed an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)-guided, eye-mountable robot that uses real-time tracking of corneal layers from M-mode OCT signals for control. However, signal noise and instability during manipulation of the OCT fiber sensor-integrated needle have hindered the performance of conventional deep-learning segmentation methods, resulting in rough and inaccurate detection of corneal layers. To address these challenges, we have developed a topology-based deep-learning segmentation method that integrates a topological loss function with a modified network architecture. This approach effectively reduces the effects of noise and improves segmentation speed, precision, and stability. Validation using in vivo, ex vivo, and hybrid rabbit eye datasets demonstrates that our method outperforms traditional loss-based techniques, providing fast, accurate, and robust segmentation of the epithelium and DM to guide surgery.

  Robotic ophthalmic surgery is an emerging technology to facilitate high-precision interventions such as retina penetration in subretinal injection and removal of floating tissues in retinal detachment. Current image-based methods cannot effectively estimate the needle tip's trajectory towards both retinal and floating targets. We propose to use the shadow positions of the target and the instrument tip to estimate their relative depth position. Our method succeeds target approaching on a retina model, and achieves an average depth error of 0.0127 mm and 0.3473 mm for floating and retinal targets respectively in the surgical simulator.

  The need for treatment is determined by the presence or change of disease-specific OCT-based biomarkers.
