At the upcoming ESCRS 2024 in Barcelona, Rayner will launch the RayOne Galaxy and Galaxy Toric, which the company says, is the world’s first spiral IOL designed with artificial intelligence (AI). 

According to the company, a proprietary AI engine trained on patient outcomes has been utilized to help create RayOne Galaxy’s spiral, which delivers a continuous full range of vision with minimized dysphotopsia, achieved through a non-diffractive optic with 0% light loss. The company says that RayOne Galaxy will be available immediately in toric powers and comes fully preloaded across the entire power range in the same single-use injector system as the rest of the RayOne family of lenses.  

Clinical investigations with RayOne Galaxy began earlier this year, in collaboration with eight surgeons from around the world and research labs in Europe and Brazil, the company said. According to the company, many of those surgeons are due to present their initial findings at the ESCRS 2024 meeting at Rayner’s Sunday lunchtime symposium.
