In certain embodiments, an ophthalmic injection robot includes a frame, a robotic arm, a docking assembly, and a control system. The frame includes a patient support and positioning cameras. The docking assembly is coupled to the robotic arm, and includes fine adjustment cameras, and a staging assembly including fine adjustment actuators, a needle extension actuator, and a needle assembly including a needle. The control system includes a memory and a processor configured to receive the fine adjustment image data generated by fine adjustment cameras, process the fine adjustment image data to generate a blood vessel map of an eye of a patient, select an injection site on the eye of the patient based on the blood vessel map, and control the fine adjustment actuators to position the needle above the selected injection site for target-confirmed injection of a drug through the needle and into the eye of the patient.
