Revolutionize Eye Surgery: Alcon's LenSx OnAxis Technology is Here

In a groundbreaking move, Alcon has unveiled its new LenSx OnAxis technology – a marvel designed to redefine precision in astigmatism management during cataract surgeries. This year’s American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) meeting witnesses this trailblazing eye-care innovation, packed with advanced features previously unexplored in the field.

A Leap in Laser Precision

Alcon’s LenSx femtosecond laser platform revolutionizes cataract surgery by shifting from manual methods to high-definition, laser-assisted procedures. This bladeless wonder offers superior precision through ultrafast laser pulses tailored to enhance surgical accuracy. The employment of 3D spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) lends unparalleled visualization of the anterior segment, promising more effective and reliable outcomes.

OnAxis: The Astigmatism Solution

The newly integrated OnAxis Technology brings astigmatism correction into sharper focus. This software arms ophthalmologists with automated tools for toric intraocular lens (IOL) alignment by crafting precise incisions and demarcations. As stated in Eyes On Eyecare, OnAxis reduces room for error compared to manual practices, thus elevating the standard of care.

Streamlining the Surgical Experience

With its sophisticated capabilities, OnAxis dramatically reduces the manual steps typical in surgical procedures, which translates to reduced surgery time and fewer data entry mistakes. Its standout features include advanced fragmentation patterns and reliable intraoperative and postoperative IOL verifications. Surgeons can now trust enhanced consistency and efficiency in handling astigmatism.

Smart Surgical Tools for Better Outcomes

Preoperative biometric data informs the OnAxis Technology, allowing it to identify specific incision requirements to effectively address astigmatism. The LenSx laser then executes these operations, creating laser markers for accurate toric IOL alignment—a transformative step in precision surgery.

Future-Ready Ophthalmology

The sum total of OnAxis’s capabilities is a remarkable reduction of astigmatism in patients, as supported by 2023 research published in Clinical Ophthalmology. The integration of LaserArcs nomogram—a surgical formula saving time and elevating accuracy—cements its role as an industry game-changer.

Availability and Showcase

Alcon’s LenSx with OnAxis Technology is ready and available for U.S. customers. Interested parties are encouraged to explore this innovation at AAO’s annual meeting, where Alcon will present a live demonstration at booth #2120. Accompanying this are further exciting innovations, including the rerun of the Valeda Light Delivery System and UNITY Vitreoretinal Cataract Systems.

Embrace the future of ophthalmology with the precision and sophistication offered by Alcon’s LenSx OnAxis technology, promising a brighter and more accurate vision for patients and surgeons alike.
