My First Patient With Galaxy Lens: Live Surgery And Visual Results.

Present the surgery, characteristics of the lens, visual and refractive results as well as visual quality of the first patient operated in live surgery with the new RayOne Galaxy intraocular lens (IOL).

The corrected and uncorrected visual acuities were evaluated at the 3 distances (near, intermediate and far) of the patient operated on with bilateral implantation with Galaxy lens, as well as mono and binocular defocus curves. Sensitivity to photopic and mesopic contrast was recorded. Satisfaction survey was carried out

Three months after bilateral Galaxy lens implantation, the patient presented the following results: uncorrected binocular distance visual acuity of 0.01 logMar, best-corrected visual acuity of 0 logMar. Intermediate vision (at 66 cm) was 0.01 logMAR and near vision (at ~40 cm) was 0.05.

The defocus curves showed stable defocus patterns at the 1- and 3-month follow-ups. The binocular defocus curve showed a full range of vision extent, with a smooth plateau from +0.5 D to -2.5 D and visual acuity of 0.2 logMAR or better over a range of ~4.0 D. No drop in intermediate vision was observed on the defocus curve.
CSV-1000 contrast sensitivity test results show optimal vision quality.
Halo analyzes showed very mild type 1 results with the Galaxy IOL.
Both the satisfaction, the independence of the glasses and the quality of the patient's night vision are excellent.

The RayOne Galaxy intraocular lens provides excellent visual results and minimal photopic phenomena. 
The novel full range of vision IOL featuring a unique spiral design provides a smooth and continuous defocus curve from far to near distances.
