About

E. de Juan is a pioneering researcher in ophthalmic microsurgery, whose work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of tactile perception in microsurgical contexts. His key research areas include microsurgical technique, haptic feedback in surgery, and the biomechanics of ocular tissues. De Juan’s most notable contribution is the quantification of microsurgical tactile perception, a landmark study that systematically measured the forces and positional accuracy required when manipulating delicate ocular membranes and vessels—often at the scale of tens of microns. This work, published in 2003, has garnered 5 citations and remains a foundational reference for surgeons and engineers developing haptic feedback systems and robotic surgical tools. By defining the limits of human tactile ability in microsurgery, de Juan’s research has directly informed the design of training simulators and force-sensing instruments, improving surgical precision and patient outcomes. His achievements bridge the gap between clinical practice and biomedical engineering, making him a key figure in the evolution of modern ophthalmic surgery.
