Current scope: PrecisionIOL supports browser-based manual entry and scan/image upload workflows today, with CSV parsing scaffolds and a roadmap for deeper device-source comparison. It does not claim direct manufacturer-certified integration unless explicitly configured and validated.

Why device neutrality matters

Modern cataract planning often spans more than one measurement source: optical biometry, tomography, topography, surgeon SIA, ocular history, formula selection, and patient goals. Manufacturer ecosystems are powerful, but they tend to optimize around their own devices and lenses. A neutral planning layer should help the surgeon reconcile data across devices rather than assume that one source is always authoritative.

The PrecisionIOL import model

Available nowManual entry

Biometry remains editable in the browser: axial length, K1/K2, ACD, lens thickness, pupil size, target refraction, pathologies, and counseling context.

Available nowScan / image upload

Photograph or upload a biometer report and review extracted values before they affect formula outputs or patient counseling.

Parser scaffoldIOLMaster CSV

CSV import scaffolding supports common fields such as axial length, keratometry, ACD, lens thickness, and eye laterality.

RoadmapARGOS, Pentacam, Cassini

Planned lanes for swept-source biometry, tomography/topography, axis-confidence comparison, and posterior cornea context.

Device-source roadmap

Source	Clinical role	PrecisionIOL workflow
IOLMaster	Optical biometry and keratometry	Manual entry today; CSV parser scaffold; planned structured import and measurement-quality review.
ARGOS	Swept-source biometry	Roadmap support for exported AL, K, ACD, LT, WTW, and lens-plan reconciliation.
Pentacam / OCULUS	Tomography, posterior cornea, corneal regularity	Roadmap support for posterior cornea assumptions, irregularity flags, and post-refractive confidence states.
Cassini / topography	Anterior corneal shape and astigmatism axis	Roadmap support for axis-confidence comparison against biometer K axis and toric planning outputs.
Manual entry	Universal fallback and surgeon control	Always available; every imported value should remain visible, editable, and documented.

What a neutral layer should show

The goal is not just faster data entry. The more important clinical value is surfacing disagreement before a lens is chosen. PrecisionIOL’s direction is to show whether sources agree on axial length, mean K, cylinder magnitude, astigmatism axis, posterior cornea assumptions, and formula spread.

Biometry quality: identify missing values, out-of-range values, and repeat-measurement needs.
Astigmatism confidence: compare K cylinder, topography cylinder, and axis agreement.
Post-refractive status: separate routine K-based planning from LASIK, PRK, and RK pathways.
Surgeon control: keep every imported value visible and editable before it affects reports.

Regulatory-safe framing

PrecisionIOL should describe this as clinical decision support: import, review, compare, document, and export. It should not claim autonomous diagnosis, autonomous treatment selection, or hidden device control. The surgeon remains responsible for validating measurement quality, choosing formulas, selecting lens models, and verifying final surgical plans.
