Brazilian science has just taken a significant step in the global medical innovation landscape with the creation of RayOne Galaxy, the world's first spiral intraocular lens, developed using artificial intelligence (AI). The product was designed in partnership with ophthalmologist João Marcelo Lyra, who holds a doctorate from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). The RayOne Galaxy lens promises to offer patients a complete range of vision while minimizing the unwanted effects of dysphotopsia – visual distortions common in other types of lenses. This innovation is made possible thanks to a non-diffractive spiral optics technology, which ensures 0% light loss. In practical terms, the RayOne Galaxy combines the clarity of a monofocal lens with the benefits of more advanced lenses, bringing more comfort and quality of life to patients.

The partnership between Dr. Lyra and Rayner reflects the strength of the Brazilian scientific ecosystem, particularly the innovation axis existing between Minas Gerais and Alagoas. Collaboration with biotechnology companies, such as Logos BioScience – an emerging company born from this collaborative environment – has allowed the creation of solutions that stand out in the global health innovation scenario.

RayOne Galaxy will be officially presented to the world at the upcoming congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS), which will take place in Barcelona. During the event, the first clinical results of surgeries performed with the new lens will be revealed. The launch of RayOne Galaxy reinforces the innovative capacity and relevance of Brazilian science in the development of cutting-edge medical technologies.
