The document discusses the evolving landscape of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, highlighting the inadequacies of historical formulas in predicting individual refractive outcomes while emphasizing the importance of experience and data. It introduces Mirricon, a new ocular biometer designed to provide high-performance IOL power calculations with reliable results at the push of a button, aiming to improve outcomes and reduce human error. The document concludes by seeking partnerships and investment opportunities to advance commercialization efforts.
High Performance IOL Power Calculation…. at the push of a button
- 1. High Performance IOL Power Calculation…. at the push of a button OIS, San Diego 16th April 2015 Michael Mrochen, CTO and Co Founder
- 2. IOL Power Calculation It takes years of learning and experience! Google search result on “IOL Power Calculation” “latest publications” “previous patient history” “device specific knowledge” “surgeon specific A-constant” “Keratometer index” “Ultra-sound equivalence”
- 3. How to match the best outcomes? NHS Standard 85% within +/- 1D 55% within +/- 0.5D Royal College of Ophthalmic Cataract Surgeons Guidelines, Gale et al, 2006 More recently “With modern optical biometry for the majority of patients, informed formula choice and IOL constant optimisation outcomes of more than 90% within ±1 D and more than 60% within ±0.5 D of target are achievable”. R.Sheard, Optimising Biometry for best outcomes in cataract surgery, Eye, 2014 To achieve these results takes time for every patient and considerable expertise
- 4. The Problem • Historical IOL power formulae are: – Good for the “average” refractive outcome (SEQ) – Poor for predicting the individual refractive outcome • High complexity driven by variety of formulae available for – Short or long eyes – Astigmatic eyes – Post-refractive surgery eyes • Improving refractive outcomes based on formulae requires: – Experience – Time to optimize and implement for the individual patient – Reliable historical clinical data for A-constant optimization
- 5. Mirricon –A new Ocular Biometer for High Performance IOL Power Calculation •Results at the push of a button assuring: • Convenience – minimal training time and improved clinic throughput •Easy decisions without great expertise and experience delivering: • Predictable outcomes - Excellent and consistent results every time • Safety – Reducing the possibility of human error in IOL Power calculation •One preoperative solution for all types of eyes
