About
Sonia Manning is a pioneering ophthalmic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing vitreoretinal surgery through robotic assistance and precision techniques. Her most impactful work, a 2022 randomised controlled trial comparing robot-assisted versus manual surgery for epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling, has garnered 33 citations and represents a landmark contribution to the field. This study, conducted at a tertiary centre, demonstrated the feasibility and safety of using the Preceyes Surgical System (PSS) for common surgical steps in pucker peeling, offering critical insights into the potential of robotic platforms to enhance surgical accuracy and patient outcomes. Manning’s research addresses the pressing need for minimally invasive, high-precision interventions in retinal surgery, bridging the gap between emerging technology and clinical practice. Her work has been widely recognised for its rigorous methodology and translational impact, positioning her as a key figure in the evolution of robotic-assisted ophthalmology. Through her investigations, Manning is shaping the future of vitreoretinal surgery, inspiring both clinicians and researchers to explore the boundaries of surgical innovation.
