The Hague, Netherlands, April 4th, 2024 – Cassini Technologies BV, a global leader in vision-care, is thrilled to report on the progression of the seamless digital integration between Johnson & Johnson’s CATALYS Precision Laser System and the Cassini Ambient during the ASCRS Inaugural Digital Clinical Committee Symposia jointly contributing significant advancement in the field of cataract surgery.
The Cassini Ambient aims to enhance the surgical experience and optimize outcomes for cataract surgery from pre-op diagnostics to post-op outcomes, forming part of the Cassini Connect O.R. digital cataract surgery solution. Dr. Trey Bishop from Bishop Eye Center, who will be speaking during the ASCRS Inaugural Digital Clinical Committee Symposia on Friday 5th April 2024, commented: “I’m excited to share the remarkable ongoing efforts and clinical evidence of CATALYS Precision Laser System and Cassini Ambient connectivity set to lead the way for cataract surgery.”
The integrated system offers comprehensive solutions including ocular surface health screening, identification of all relevant eye measurements and registration data for managing astigmatism, reliable laser incisions and a premium patient experience.
Notably, the integrated system streamlines workflow, accelerates the surgical process and improves accuracy.
Key features of the integrated solution include:
- Minimizing data entry verification and manual transcription errors [1]
- Reducing time spent on calculation of arcuate incision parameters
- Enhancing precision in toric IOL alignment with radial laser marks and iris registration [2,3,4,5]
Real-world experiences reflect the effectiveness of this digital integration. Dr. Wendell J. Scott from Mercy Clinic Eye Specialists reported a tripled Toric lens volume since integrating Cassini Ambient with the CATALYS Precision Laser System, while Dr. Jared Younger from Orange Coast Eye Center noted a 40% increase in Toric lens volume due to the ease and accuracy of the integration.
Dr. Eric Donnenfeld from Ophthalmic Consultants of Long Island echoed similar sentiments, stating, "I am easily doing 25% more Toric lenses since adding the Cassini Ambient to the CATALYS Precision Laser System."
Mark Maire, Chief Executive Officer of Cassini Technologies, expressed enthusiasm for the advancements, highlighting the company's commitment to innovation and excellence in ophthalmic solutions: “We are excited to work on the next generation of technology for our surgeons and their patients. We aim to deliver a meaningful impact on surgical solutions that raise the bar for ophthalmology.”
Ernst Serfontein, Chief Commercial & Product Officer of Cassini Technologies, emphasized the significance of the solution, stating, “Surgeons can comfortably offer astigmatism correction simultaneously during cataract surgery without adding additional time. Our surgeons are inspired with the remarkable clinical study results reaching postop outcomes within 0.50DC utilizing Cassini Ambient Total Corneal Astigmatism and registration guidance on CATALYS Precision Laser System.” [6]
Cassini Ambient is commercially available in the USA, EU and selected other markets, offering surgeons increased precision, efficiency and patient satisfaction.
