First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares two surgical systems used for combined cataract and vitrectomy eye surgeries. The UNITY VCS system is being tested against the CONSTELLATION system to see which one surgeons find more efficient in real-world operating rooms. About 180 adults needing combined eye surgery will take part, and surgeons will rate how efficient each system is during setup, surgery, and teardown.
