What Is RealSight™?

RealSight™ is a proprietary measurement system focused on identifying the optimal intraocular lens power for your eyes. Traditional formulas often rely on broad-stroke metrics, but RealSight™ zeroes in on finer anatomical details, ranging from corneal topography to subtle astigmatic variations.

Developed by Dr. Ilan Cohen, a dedicated cataract surgeon who invests 100% of his career in improving surgical outcomes, this approach can help reduce the likelihood of needing glasses or subsequent adjustments after surgery. Its blend of high-level data processing and real-world surgical expertise aims to deliver more consistent results, even for patients with irregular corneas or unique vision profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions RealSight™

Does RealSight™ make cataract surgery more complicated?

The additional precision steps primarily occur during the planning phase, relying on in-depth measurements. The surgical procedure itself usually runs just as smoothly as standard cataract operations.

Can RealSight™ address astigmatism effectively?

Yes. By capturing highly detailed corneal data, RealSight™ can better target astigmatism, guiding the choice and placement of toric lenses if needed.

Is there any downtime beyond what's typical for cataract surgery?

Recovery times are generally similar. Most patients notice clearer vision within days, and their vision continues to improve as the eye fully heals.

Does it cost more to use RealSight™?

Some aspects of personalized lens measurement might not be fully covered by insurance. Our staff will provide a transparent overview of costs so you can make an informed decision.

Could RealSight™ help if I already have a complex eye history?

Absolutely. Whether you've had a previous refractive procedure or possess unique corneal shapes, the detailed data that RealSight™ collects can help tailor a plan that accommodates those complexities.
