Rajan Eye Care launches AI technology for eye correction

In a remarkable step toward revolutionizing vision care, Rajan Eye Care Hospital has unveiled a cutting-edge AI-based eye correction technology called WaveLight Plus InnovEyes to mark World Sight Day. This innovation promises to set new standards in personalized and precise vision correction by combining artificial intelligence with advanced optical diagnostics.
Developed by Alcon, the technology uses an advanced diagnostic system that collects over 100,000 data points from a patient’s optical system to create a detailed 3D model of the eye. This data-driven model is then analyzed using AI, which guides doctors in planning highly accurate treatments for myopia (nearsightedness), hypermetropia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. By accounting for subtle, individual variations in each patient’s eyes, the system ensures a customized and precise correction plan for improved visual outcomes.
The technology was officially unveiled at Rajan Eye Care Hospital by actor Vinay Rai, in the presence of Dr. Mohan Rajan, Chairman and Medical Director, and Dr. Sujatha Mohan, Executive Medical Director of the hospital. Explaining the innovation, Dr. Mohan Rajan said the system creates a “digital twin” of the eye, which allows it to generate a tailored ablation pattern for vision correction. This approach takes into account data from both the retina and cornea, making it far more precise than traditional refractive surgery methods.
Dr. Rajan also emphasized the importance of regular eye check-ups, especially for individuals with diabetes, a condition known to affect eyesight over time. He voiced concern over the rising incidence of myopia among children, linking it to prolonged screen exposure and advising parents to monitor and limit their children’s screen time for better eye health.
With this launch, Rajan Eye Care continues its legacy of medical innovation and patient-centered care, bringing AI-driven precision medicine into the field of ophthalmology. The hospital’s new technology marks a significant leap forward in helping patients achieve clearer, sharper, and healthier vision through science and innovation.
