First Rayner Galaxy Spiral Intraocular Lens In Surrey and Hampshire

First Rayner Galaxy Spiral Intraocular Lens In Surrey and Hampshire

The first implantations mark the start of an exciting journey with RayOne Galaxy for Rayner in the United States, enabling the organisation to continue driving its focus on optimising visual outcomes for surgeons and their patients around the world. 

Since the implantation of the first Rayner intraocular lens by Sir Harold Ridley 1949,  Rayner continues to innovate to create technology that helps the sight and quality of life for their patients. Headquartered in Worthing, United Kingdom, Rayner supplies lenses and other ophthalmic products in over 80 countries. 

The Rayner Galaxy intraocular lens (IOL) is a giant leap forward in lens technology. One of the standout features is its unique spiral optic design. This design, developed using artificial intelligence, provides a continuous full range of vision. Unlike traditional multifocal lenses, which have a series of rings that create three separate focal points, the spiral optic minimises dysphotopsia, such as halos and glare, especially in low-light conditions. The Rayner Galaxy IOL uses a non-diffractive optic, which ensures that all available light is used efficiently. This design gives maximal light transmission to the retina, providing clearer and brighter vision 

The development of the Rayner Galaxy IOL involved an AI engine trained on patient outcomes. This technology resulted in the creation of an optimised optical spiral that improved visual acuity and provides a smooth transition from distance to near vision without the need for additional corrective lenses. 

One of the common issues with traditional multifocal lenses is the presence of halos and glare. The Rayner Galaxy IOL's non-diffractive optic significantly reduces these visual disturbances, providing a more comfortable and superior visual experience. It is available in a range of powers and with Toric (astigmatism) correction. 

It is used for patients undergoing cataract surgery to replace the eye’s natural lens that has become cloudy or indeed for those without cataract but wanting freedom from distance/reading glasses. 

In December 2024, Mr Modi became the first in Surrey and Hampshire and one of only a handful of surgeons in the UK to use the Rayner Galaxy lens for lens replacement in cataract surgery. Initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. This new technology is an evolutionary step forward in the field of Ophthalmology and offers the chance to give significantly better vision at all distances whilst still keeping with the proven safety and experience that has been built upon over the last 75 years of lens surgery.
