About

Dr. Mingfeng Lu is a leading ophthalmology researcher whose work centers on surgical simulation, ocular biomechanics, and the development of innovative training models for cataract surgery. Her most impactful contribution is a pioneering experimental study that developed a chemical method to prepare porcine lens capsules to closely mimic the tear force and perforating force of the human lens anterior capsule. This work, published in 2024 at Beijing Tongren Hospital, directly addresses a critical gap in surgical training by providing a more realistic, accessible, and ethical alternative to human cadaveric tissue for practicing capsulorhexis. By precisely characterizing and replicating the mechanical properties of human tissue, Dr. Lu’s research enhances the fidelity of surgical simulators, ultimately improving trainee proficiency and patient safety. Her work has garnered early citations, signaling its immediate relevance to the ophthalmic surgical community. Dr. Lu’s dedication to translational research—bridging materials science and clinical practice—positions her as a key innovator in ophthalmology education and surgical technique refinement.
