Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital in Bengaluru has achieved a historic milestone by performing Asia’s first AI-designed intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Under the leadership of Professor Dr. Sri Ganesh, Chairman & Managing Director of Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital and Founder Trustee of Shraddha Eye Care Trust, the hospital successfully implanted the Rayner RayOne Galaxy and Galaxy Toric IOLs. With this accomplishment, Dr. Sri Ganesh becomes the first surgeon in Asia to conduct this groundbreaking procedure.
Revolutionizing Vision Correction with AI
“Our priority is always to provide the best possible vision solutions for our patients,” said Dr. Sri Ganesh. “By integrating AI-driven technology into IOL lens implantation design, we achieve superior precision, enhanced customization, and improved patient satisfaction.”
This AI-powered innovation represents a major advancement in refractive cataract surgery, bringing patients closer to personalized vision correction with minimal side effects.
Enhanced Vision Quality and Night Clarity
Dr. Sri Ganesh explained the challenge with previous IOLs: balancing daytime vision quality with night vision clarity. The AI-optimized spiral design of these new lenses overcomes this issue by optimizing light distribution. This ensures patients experience:
- Seamless clarity at all distances
- Improved contrast sensitivity
- Reduced halos and glare for better night vision
Unlike traditional trifocal lenses, these AI-powered IOLs evenly distribute light across all focal points. The toric variant also enhances rotational stability, ensuring precise astigmatic correction.
Designed for Patients Seeking Spectacle Independence
As per the press release, these AI-designed lenses cater to cataract and astigmatism patients who want to reduce—or eliminate—dependence on glasses. “Achieving true spectacle independence is a top priority for many of our patients,” noted Dr. Sri Ganesh. The new lens implantation are especially beneficial for individuals requiring sharp vision across all distances, including those who frequently drive at night or navigate low-light environments.
Remarkable Post-Operative Results
Early post-operative results have been highly promising. Patients report exceptional visual clarity within the first 24 hours. Long-term studies will continue to assess real-world conditions like night driving and low-light performance.
Dr. Sri Ganesh: A Global Leader in Ophthalmology
With over 100,000 Phaco surgeries and 50,000 Refractive surgeries to his credit, Dr. Sri Ganesh is an internationally recognized expert in high-risk eye surgeries. His precision and innovation have earned him a position on advisory boards of global vision care leaders, including Carl Zeiss Meditec Germany and J&J Vision USA. Additionally, he holds multiple patents for cutting-edge ophthalmic technologies that are shaping the future of eye care.
Patient-Centric Approach with Advanced Counseling
Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital ensures patients make informed decisions by offering comprehensive counseling and visual simulation sessions. These sessions allow patients to preview expected vision outcomes, including night vision improvements, before undergoing surgery.
Pioneering the Future of Ophthalmology
“With AI-driven advancements like these, ophthalmology is undergoing a paradigm shift,” said Dr. Sri Ganesh. “At Nethradhama, we push the boundaries of innovation to deliver the best possible visual outcomes for our patients. Bringing this revolutionary technology to Asia marks an exciting step forward in vision correction.”
Under Dr. Sri Ganesh’s leadership, Nethradhama remains at the forefront of innovation, integrating cutting-edge technologies to provide world-class eye care. Through its commitment to research, training, and compassionate patient care, Nethradhama has established itself as a trusted name in ophthalmology, both in India and globally.
