THE CHALLENGE
Cataract surgeons face a challenging environment, striving to optimize patient outcomes despite time constraints and declining surgical reimbursements.
While many patients are open to paying out-of-pocket for premium lens options, surgeons are often unsure if they will provide the desired benefits, given the limited tools available for predicting vision outcomes.
Factors such as neuroadaptation or outlier cases, including short eye or corneal dystrophy, can make IOL selection and the success of premium options unpredictable.
THE SOLUTION
At Oculotix, we understand the complexity and delicate nature of cataract surgery, and our focus is on delivering dependable outputs that instill confidence in surgical outcomes.
Our proprietary optics models leverage the principles of optics to map various optic designs to patient-specific features, including axial length, corneal curvature, and the depth of the capsular bag, as well as patient-specific preferences such as lifestyle, vision requirements, and expectations. By linking these data points, we can quantitatively predict vision outcomes across a range of factors:
- Spectacle independence at near, intermediate and distance
- Night and day driving capability
- Quality of life factors
- Visual dysphotopsias
- Day 1 corneal clarity
- <30 day post-op vision experience
These factors are combined to output a recommended lens for the patient. The software identifies patients who will do well with a premium option, and recommends the type of premium IOL that will be most likely to meet the patient’s vision goals.
