ZEISS Medical Technology will showcase its latest cataract and corneal refractive workflow innovations at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) conference. ZEISS leads the industry as the first medical device manufacturer to offer treatment for hyperopia with lenticule extraction using SMILE® pro in the CE markets. ZEISS is also celebrating its latest refractive milestone of surpassing the 10 million mark for lenticule extraction procedures performed with ZEISS SMILE and ZEISS SMILE pro. Building on its surgical technology, ZEISS will introduce its advanced optical and digital ophthalmic microscopes to the CE markets, as well as showcase its enhanced IOL portfolio including new clinical results with the AT ELANA® 841P trifocal IOL. Additionally, the company will show its latest AI technology within the ZEISS Cataract Workflow, including the CE-marked ZEISS AI IOL Calculator and the pending-CE-mark CIRRUS® PathFinder™ AI tool for improved pre-operative patient care. Both solutions highlight how digital technologies within the ZEISS Medical Ecosystem are continuing to set the pace for clinical workflow innovation and foretelling how AI technology will support more personalized patient care in the future.
“ZEISS continues to pave the way toward a future of truly personalized care through the development of some of the most advanced digital technologies and medical devices to meet the expanding needs of Europe’s leading refractive and cataract surgeons,” says Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., President of the Ophthalmology Strategic Business Unit and Head of the Digital Business Unit at ZEISS Medical Technology. “Using our latest offerings – including our VISUMAX 800 with SMILE pro, CIRRUS PathFinder and other data-driven AI tools – we’re helping surgeons improve their workflow efficiencies and patient outcomes.”
Leading the next era in laser vision correction
After more than 13 years of offering laser vision correction (LVC) solutions, including treatment options for myopia and presbyopia, ZEISS is once again reshaping the market with the introduction of lenticule extraction for hyperopic patients, with or without astigmatism, using the VISUMAX® 800. ZEISS is the first medical device manufacturer to introduce treatment of hyperopia using lenticule extraction in the CE market.
At ESCRS, ZEISS is also showcasing its complete ZEISS Corneal Refractive Workflow, now further enhanced by including computer-assisted cyclotorsion adjustment for the ZEISS VISUMAX 800, remote planning with the ZEISS Refractive Workplace, and the VISULYZE® clinical nomogram and data analysis tool, all further enhancing the ZEISS digital portfolio and workflow solutions for corneal refractive. A recent study found that lenticule extraction using a ZEISS femtosecond laser provides an effective treatment method for the correction of compound hyperopic astigmatism, demonstrating a high level of efficacy, predictability, safety, and stability.1
