Clarity Medical Systems, Inc. Announces Commercial Availability Of HOLOS IntraOp Technology

Next-generation aberrometry provides real-time monitoring of refractive parameters, supplying confidence in achieving the desired postsurgical outcome.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clarity Medical Systems, Inc. (Clarity), a medical device company focused on the manufacture of integrated optical systems for the diagnosis and management of eye disorders, announces the commercial availability of its HOLOS IntraOp^TM Intraoperative Wavefront Aberrometer at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting. The device displays qualitative and quantitative refractive data in real time, providing immediate feedback on how surgical adjustments may affect postsurgical refraction during the many steps of cataract surgery.

“HOLOS IntraOp offers continuous, real-time refractions during cataract surgery, meaning the ability to confirm the refractive target and guide astigmatic treatments”

“HOLOS IntraOp offers continuous, real-time refractions during cataract surgery, meaning the ability to confirm the refractive target and guide astigmatic treatments,” said Keith Liang MD, Medical Director of the Sacramento Eye SurgiCenter in Sacramento, California. “Achieving the refractive outcomes patients expect in modern cataract surgery requires a great deal of precision. When using the HOLOS intraoperative wavefront aberrometer, I have the ability to confirm the surgical parameters in real time and focus on the surgical steps necessary to achieve an accurate outcome.”

Among its many features, HOLOS IntraOp offers active monitoring of sphere, cylinder, and axis measurements, and it provides live feedback to the surgeon while rotating toric IOLs, titrating limbal relaxing incisions, and opening arcuate incisions. The HOLOS IntraOp can be used in any cataract surgery, but it was specifically designed with advanced technology IOLs in mind. HOLOS takes 90 measurements per second, with a displayed range of -20.00 D to +20.00 D and a dynamic range from -5.00 D to +16.00 D.

The availability of real-time refractive feedback may also be of benefit in complicated cases, such as highly aberrated corneas with unusual anterior and posterior corneal power distributions; irregular astigmatism; and prior refractive surgery. In such situations, standard IOL power calculations may provide less-than-desired results.

Clarity, which holds several patents in real-time intraoperative wavefront aberrometry, is already planning upgrades to the HOLOS IntraOp platform. The current software capabilities offer ability to manage a full range of cataract cases, including pseudophakic IOL power confirmation for standard, multifocal, and toric IOLs. In 2016, Clarity will release software to accurately predict the required IOL power using an aphakic measurement.
