INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
ForSight Robotics announced today it completed a $125 million Series B funding round to support its ophthalmic robotic surgery tech.Eclipse
led the financing for ForSight
An undisclosed strategic investor and board member Fred Moll — considered “the father of surgical robotics” — participated, too
The Adani Group, Reiya Ventures and other existing investors joined in as well.The Series B brought the company’s total funding to $195
million.ForSight Robotics said it plans to use funds to accelerate the next growth phase for its Oryom platform
It touts ORYOM as the world’s first robotic surgery platform for cataracts and widespread eye diseases
ORYOM uses AI-based algorithms, advanced computer vision, and miniaturized mechanics.Engineered for precise, consistent ophthalmic
procedures, the platform aims to deliver dexterity and maneuverability with an improved ergonomic experience
It can reach any point within the human eye, allowing surgeons to navigate complex angles
It also ensures access to anterior and posterior segments for future glaucoma and retinal surgery treatments.ORYOM uses AI-based algorithms,
advanced computer vision, and miniaturized mechanics to help doctors perform eye surgeries

ophthalmology as the next frontier in the robotics revolution – much like general surgery was before the rise of Intuitive Surgical,”
Joseph Nathan, ForSight Robotics’ co-founder, president, and chief medical officer
“With a comparable market size and an urgent global need, our opportunity ahead is immense.“Through our latest funding round, we will
bring the same level of transformative impact to eye surgery, with technology designed specifically for its unique precision and
complexity.”The National Health Society (NHS) of England announced earlier this month that millions of patients will benefit from robotic
surgery over the next decade as part of its efforts to cut waiting times
By 2035, it plans to support half a million robotic operations every year, up from 70,000 in 2023 and 2024, according to NHS
projections.Editor’s Note: This article was republished from sister website MassDevice.The post ForSight Robotics raises $125M for
