Founded in 1820, the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE) holds the distinction of being America's first specialty hospital. As a world-renowned leader, it is dedicated to exceptional patient care, groundbreaking research, and advanced medical education in its core specialties. Its expertise spans ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and plastic and reconstructive surgery, continuing its legacy of innovation and excellence.

Dr. Richard Rosen commended the significant potential of Adaptive Optics in ophthalmology. He presented Robotrak Technologies with the NYEE 1820-2020 photographic collection, inscribing it to honor founder Jie Zhang for his contributions to ophthalmology. Dr. Rosen further encouraged Jie to continue leading his team in translating innovative technologies into tangible treatments for the benefit of eye patients worldwide.

During the system installation, Dr. Rosen observed hyalocytes imaged by MONA, cells in the vitreous that are difficult to visualize in vivo. He remarked that this ability to visualize hyalocytes live could lead to breakthroughs in understanding vitreous physiology, disease pathogenesis, and drug development, ultimately enabling improved treatments through early intervention and precise medication. Beyond hyalocytes, MONA's unique capabilities extend to imaging microglial cells, photoreceptors, and retinal vascular blood flow. This aligns perfectly with the goals of Dr. Rosen's laboratory, which is dedicated to applying novel technologies to address clinical challenges.
