Purpose

This analysis compares the visual performance and dysphotopsia profile of two
premium intraocular lenses: the FROF spiral RayOne Galaxyand the Trifocal
TECNIS Synergy

Setting

To evaluate differences between the two lenses in terms of:
 Visual acuity (distance, intermediate, near)
 Overall visual quality
 Frequency and intensity of dysphotopsias (halos, glare, etc.)
 Patient satisfaction
The comparison contrasts a novel spiral refractive technology with a trifocal platform.

Methods

Single-center retrospective study conducted in Montpellier, France, involving two
groups of patients with comparable preoperative characteristics (age, gender, axial
length).
Galaxy Group
 30 patients
 Retrospective analysis
 Data collected from medical records of patients implanted with RayOne
Galaxy
Synergy Group
 30 patients
 Retrospective analysis
 Data collected from medical records of patients implanted with TECNIS
Synergy
Visual performance and the presence of dysphotopsias were directly compared
between the two groups.

Results

Preliminary Results: Galaxy vs Synergy

Initial analysis highlights notable differences between the two implants.

Visual Acuity

Intermediate Vision

RayOne Galaxy appears to provide superior intermediate performance, with more

functional vision for daily activities (computer use, dashboard viewing, etc.).

Distance and Near Vision

Both implants demonstrate globally satisfactory performance, with variations

depending on patient profiles.

Dysphotopsias

Halos, glare, and other dysphotopsias were analyzed according to:

Frequency

Nature

Impact on quality of life

Preliminary findings suggest qualitative differences between the two implants,

particularly under low-light and night-driving conditions.

Conclusions

This comparison between RayOne Galaxy and TECNIS Synergy provides clinically
meaningful data to guide premium IOL selection according to:
 Patient visual needs (particularly intermediate vision demands)
 Individual tolerance to dysphotopsias
 Functional expectations and sensitivity to night-vision quality
 Patient-reported outcomes (PROMs)
These findings help refine decision-making between a spiral refractive optic and a
trifocal technology, tailoring lens choice to the patient’s optimal visual profile.
