Explainable IOL planning, not another black box.
PrecisionIOL is built for cataract surgeons who want a fast, browser-based planning layer that explains the reasoning behind a case: biometry context, formula spread, toric confidence, ocular history, premium IOL counseling, and patient goals.
The market is moving toward connected workflow.
Based on public market messaging and product materials, Alcon, ZEISS, Bausch + Lomb, and RxSight are all expanding the planning surface around cataract surgery. The signal is clear: IOL planning is no longer just a formula result. It is becoming workflow, education, documentation, and postoperative feedback.
| Company / platform | Visible strategic emphasis | PrecisionIOL response |
|---|---|---|
| Alcon SMARTCataract / ADI / UNITY | Publicly visible emphasis on clinic-to-OR connectivity, surgical workflow efficiency, modular surgical equipment, and ecosystem integration. | Be the independent browser layer for practices that want explainable planning without being locked to one ecosystem. |
| ZEISS VERACITY / Surgery Planner / CLINIC 360 | Cloud/browser workflow, diagnostic and medical-record data aggregation, connected diagnostics, cataract surgery planning, EMR-to-OR movement, DICOM workflows, analytics, and reduced manual-input risk. | Focus on the device-neutral cataract layer: formula spread, biometry assumptions, toric confidence, post-refractive state, premium counseling, OR/ASC handoff, and clinician-controlled verification. |
| Bausch + Lomb Orphia | AI-powered cataract education and pre-surgery patient preparation. | Turn clinical planning into patient-facing summaries by lens class, not generic education. |
| NIDEK EyeLink | Imaging-data centralization, connected viewing, deep learning-based segmentation, and longitudinal comparison around diagnostic devices. | Stay narrower and clinically specific: measurement provenance, biometry confidence, posterior cornea context, raw scan review, and IOL planning handoff. |
| Rayner Galaxy / RALV | AI-designed premium optic positioning, augmented lens-vision simulation, night-driving counseling, PROMs, and outcomes evidence. | Keep premium planning independent: connect patient goals, mesopic tasks, dysphotopsia tolerance, residual-error risk, and documented counseling across lens families. |
| RxSight LAL | Postoperative adjustability, patient feedback, UV treatment workflow, and refinement after healing. | Support adjustable-IOL candidacy, counseling, target strategy, and postop tracking as part of the same planning record. |
What PrecisionIOL does differently
Decision rationale
Each case shows why a lens pathway deserves review: formula agreement, biometric context, astigmatism confidence, ocular history, optical risk, and counseling needs.
Formula disagreement
Instead of hiding uncertainty behind a single output, PrecisionIOL surfaces formula spread and confidence bands across transparent formulas.
Post-refractive workflow
LASIK, PRK, and RK eyes get a separate pathway with historical-data status, warning states, and official Barrett True-K / ASCRS link-outs.
Toric confidence
The toric planner now includes axis confidence, posterior cornea assumption, surgeon SIA, rotation sensitivity, and device-source comparison.
Premium counseling
Patient-facing summaries are generated by lens class: monofocal, toric, EDOF, trifocal, modular premium, and LAL / adjustable.
Device-neutral import story
Manual entry and scan upload work today; IOLMaster CSV scaffolding and ARGOS/Pentacam/Cassini roadmap lanes position PrecisionIOL as a neutral planning layer.
Lifestyle fit
Driving, night driving, computer use, reading, halo tolerance, glasses independence, visit willingness, travel burden, and budget flexibility feed a documented suitability score.
Journey comparison
Patients and surgeons can compare not just optics, but visits, chair time, technician time, OR complexity, special equipment, and follow-up burden.
Smart surgical plan
The planner produces a verification scaffold for target, transparent formula median, toric alignment, backup lens thinking, warnings, and documentation.
Built for the surgeon’s actual decision
The useful question is rarely “which lens wins?” It is “what should I verify before I trust this plan?” PrecisionIOL is designed around that moment.
Before choosing a lens
- Is the biometry routine or edge-case?
- Do formulas agree?
- Is the cornea regular?
- Is there prior LVC or RK?
Before ordering toric
- Do devices agree on cylinder and axis?
- What posterior cornea assumption is used?
- What is surgeon SIA?
- What happens if the lens rotates?
Before premium counseling
- What are the patient’s goals?
- What dysphotopsia risks exist?
- What glasses needs remain?
- What should be documented?
Use PrecisionIOL as the independent planning layer.
Open the planner, review formula spread, document toric confidence, flag post-refractive eyes, and generate patient-facing counseling summaries from the same workflow.
