Ergonomic aspects in the design of instrumentation for ophthalmic microsurgery

The following report introduces two projects, dealing about ergonomics in ophthalmic microsurgery. The first project is devoted to the development of a method, by means of which the design of microsurgical instrumentation is evaluated quantitatively. Developed method particularly considers conditions of instrument use as found in microsurgical practice. In a first attempt, the method was validated using laypersons. In the second project, various...
