About

Claude Speeg‐Schatz is a pioneering ophthalmologist whose research bridges pediatric ophthalmology, strabismus surgery, and robotic surgical innovation. Best known for her groundbreaking work in robot-assisted simulated strabismus surgery, she led the first-ever investigation into using the da Vinci Xi Surgical System for experimental eye muscle surgery—a landmark study that has garnered 17 citations and opened new frontiers in ophthalmic robotics. Her contributions extend to advancing surgical precision and safety in pediatric eye care, with a focus on improving outcomes for children with complex strabismus. Speeg‐Schatz’s work has been instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility of robotic assistance in delicate ocular procedures, earning her recognition as a trailblazer at the intersection of ophthalmology and surgical technology. Her research not only highlights the potential for enhanced accuracy in strabismus correction but also inspires future innovations in minimally invasive eye surgery. With a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in pediatric ophthalmology, Speeg‐Schatz remains a key figure for students and researchers exploring the future of robotic-assisted surgery.
