a Puncture time. b Injection time. To puncture time (0.31 ± 0.13 min vs 6.50 ± 3.00 min, P = 0.003) and subretinal drug injection time (2.66 ± 1.54 min vs 4.48 ± 1.93 min, P > 0.05), human hand efficiency was significantly faster than robot-assisted puncture. c Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity changes. There was no statistically significant difference between the robot-assisted method and the manual method. d, e Error. Manual drift and tremor vs robot-assisted drift and tremor
