RealSight™ The Next Generation of Lens Measurement for Cataract Surgery

When it comes to premium cataract surgery, the difference between good vision and exceptional clarity lies in the details. At Cohen Eye Institute, we believe that precision starts long before the operating room, and that’s why we developed RealSight™. This proprietary lens measurement system was created by Dr. Ilan Cohen, a premium lens and cataract specialist, who performed over 80,000 surgeries, including for more than 1,000 physicians.

RealSight™ enhances the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) selection by accounting for subtle corneal features that standard techniques often miss. This method represents a new standard in premium cataract care—one that combines advanced diagnostic imaging, personalized planning, and world-class surgical expertise to help patients achieve clearer, more confident vision with fewer surprises after surgery.

What Is RealSight™?

RealSight™ is an exclusive, proprietary measurement method developed by Dr. Ilan Cohen to achieve the highest possible accuracy when selecting intraocular lens (IOL) power for cataract surgery. By focusing on the minute details of each patient's eye anatomy and visual requirements, RealSight™ goes beyond conventional measurement techniques.

Traditional methods can provide a basic lens calculation but often lack the refined data points needed to achieve the crystal-clear vision that premium lens surgery can deliver. Through advanced diagnostic equipment and Dr. Cohen's specialized expertise as a cornea specialist, RealSight™ captures a comprehensive picture of your eye, mapping subtle irregularities and astigmatism levels that other approaches might overlook.

This means every lens is customized with exceptional precision, ensuring sharper post-surgery vision and reducing the likelihood of needing corrective eyewear. RealSight™ represents the next evolution in cataract surgery, offering patients a procedure and a transformative experience that blends innovation, safety, and superior outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions RealSight™

Is RealSight™ only for cataract surgery, or can it be used for other procedures?

RealSight™ was specifically developed for premium lens cataract surgery to ensure pinpoint accuracy in lens power calculations. While some measurement principles may overlap with other refractive procedures, RealSight's™ comprehensive approach to lens-based surgeries is its core advantage.

How is RealSight™ different from standard cataract measurement techniques?

Standard cataract measurements use basic tools and formulas that may overlook subtle irregularities in your eye’s anatomy—details that can significantly impact your visual outcome. RealSight™ is Dr. Ilan Cohen’s proprietary, multi-modal lens measurement system that combines several advanced diagnostic technologies to create a detailed, personalized map of your eye. This allows for highly customized lens power calculations, especially for premium lens implants, resulting in sharper, more predictable vision and a reduced need for glasses or secondary procedures.

Does insurance cover the RealSight™ procedure?

Insurance typically covers the standard portion of cataract surgery, but premium lens upgrades and specialized diagnostic methods (such as those used in RealSight™) may involve out-of-pocket costs. Our team will help you navigate your insurance benefits and discuss any additional expenses during your consultation.

Does RealSight™ help correct astigmatism?

Yes. One of RealSight's™ core benefits is its ability to pinpoint and address astigmatism accurately. By customizing the IOL to your specific corneal shape, RealSight™ greatly reduces or can even eliminate the need for glasses after surgery.

How do I know if RealSight™ is right for me compared to other premium lens options?

During your consultation, Dr. Cohen will evaluate your vision needs and eye health to determine if you're a suitable candidate. While RealSight™ enhances cataract surgery accuracy, it is part of a broader suite of premium lens solutions available at Cohen Eye Institute. Your personalized treatment plan will reflect whichever option best aligns with your lifestyle and vision goals.
