VirtuaLensTM has introduced an innovative virtual reality IOL Simulator, revolutionizing how cataract patients choose intraocular lenses before surgery.

VirtuaLens launches virtual reality-based IOL simulator

WASHINGTON — At the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, VirtuaLens highlighted self-guided mode for its Immersive IOL Simulator. The headset is designed to allow patients to compare monofocal, multifocal and premium IOL options through real-life scenario simulation, and self-guided mode minimizes the need for staff involvement through “streamlined, scalable patient workflows,” according to a press release from VirtuaLens. {{VIDEO}} During the meeting, Robert H. Osher, MD, of Cincinnati Eye Institute, told Healio that the technology gives patients the ability to test

In the last 2 years, virtual reality and augmented reality have taken a step toward more practical applications in eye care. In 2024, Healio | OSN looked at this digital technology as it was making its way into physicians’ and patients’ hands. Since then, companies have introduced devices and programs aimed at improving educational and medical experiences for surgeons and patients alike. IOL simulators such as Immersive IOL Simulator (VirtuaLens) and InSightVR (Greenman) are designed to give patients a preview of their vision after IOL implantation to help them make a more informed choice about

VirtuaLens launched the Immersive IOL Simulator, a virtual reality platform designed to compare IOL options before cataract surgery, according to a press release. The platform allows patients to explore monofocal, multifocal and premium IOL options through real-life scenarios, with simulations such as golf courses, nighttime driving and home kitchens. Additional features include side-by-side comparisons between IOLs and allowing family members to view the simulations. Choosing an IOL that best fits a patient’s vision priorities is a key step in cataract management, and the VirtuaLens VR
