The purpose of this manuscript was to design a better method for recovery from rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery. We attempted to achieve this by designing a helmet that can manipulate intraocular magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and create a magnetic tamponade, eliminating the need for postoperative head positioning. A simulated analysis was developed to predict the pattern of magnetic force applied to the magnetic nanoparticles by external magnetic field. No participants were involved in this study. Instead, magnetic flux and force data for three different helmet designs were collected using virtual simulation tools. A prototype helmet was then constructed and magnetic flux and force data were recorded and compared to virtual data. For both virtual and physical scenarios, magnitude and direction of the resulting forces were compared to determine which design created the controlled direction and strongest forces into the back of the eye. Of the three virtual designs, both designs containing a visor had greater force magnitude than magnet alone. Between both designs with visors, the visor with bends resulted in forces more directed at the back of the eye. The physical prototype helmet shared similar measurements to virtual simulation with minimal percent error (Average = 5.47%, Standard deviation = 0.03). Of the three designs, the visor with bends generated stronger forces directed at the back of the eye, which is most appropriate for creating a tamponade on the retina. We believe that this design has shown promising capability for manipulating intraocular MNPs for the purpose of creating a tamponade for RRD.
