**Bengaluru, March 22, 2025** – Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital in Bengaluru has announced a significant medical breakthrough, performing Asia’s first implantation of an AI-designed intraocular lens (IOL). The procedure, utilizing Rayner RayOne Galaxy and Galaxy Toric IOLs, was led by Dr. Sri Ganesh, Chairman and MD of the hospital.
This innovative lens, unlike traditional trifocal lenses, uses AI to optimize light distribution, resulting in improved vision quality, especially at night. It addresses the long-standing challenge of balancing daytime and nighttime vision clarity by reducing halos and glare. The toric variant also offers precise astigmatism correction.
According to Dr. Ganesh, the AI-optimized design provides superior vision outcomes with minimal side effects, offering greater precision and enhanced customization. The lenses are particularly beneficial for cataract and astigmatism patients seeking reduced or complete independence from glasses.
While the hospital claims immediate positive results, long-term studies will continue to assess patient experiences, particularly in challenging conditions like night driving and low-light environments. This advancement represents a major step forward in refractive cataract surgery and highlights the growing role of AI in ophthalmology.
