The Full Barrett Suite

The Barrett Suite is renowned for its precision formulas in achieving the desired cataract surgery outcomes. The GALILEI G6 devices have so far included the Barrett Universal II, Barrett Toric Calculator, and Barrett True-K, and now reach their full potential with the integration of Barrett Rx, the latest formula from Professor Graham Barrett.

Toric IOL

Barrett Rx stands at the forefront of postoperative diagnostics, providing cataract surgeons with invaluable insights. It precisely analyzes data to determine the required degree of Toric IOL rotation for patients experiencing residual refractive errors.

Secondary IOL

Moreover, Barrett Rx facilitates precise calculations of the power needed for piggyback IOLs, ensuring that any additional corrective measures are accurately addressed. This capability not only streamlines the surgical process but also significatly reduces the likelihood of postoperative complications.

Full Premium Cataract Diagnostics

In the realm of cataract surgery, where precision is paramount, Barrett Rx equips surgeons with the critical data necessary to make informed decisions on IOL adjustments, exchanges, or the need for piggyback lenses shortly after implantation. 

AI Powered TSP Displays

Introducing the Thickness Speed Progression (TSP Displays) to the GALILEI platforms, a groundbreaking algorithm crafted by the esteemed Professor Shady Awwad, which represents a significant leap forward in the realm of refractive diagnostics. This sophisticated AI-driven tool is meticulously designed to enhance the screening process for early ectasia, a condition that can lead to progressive corneal deformation. 

«The introduction of the Thickness Speed Progression (TSP) algorithm in the GALILEI system is a monumental advancement in ophthalmic diagnostics. This AI-driven tool allows us to detect early signs of ectasia with unprecedented precision, long before they become clinically evident.»

Prof. Dr. Shady Awwad

A Perfect Circle

PTA, CLMI.X & TSP

As the PTA and CLMI.X screening methods are fully integrated into the GALILEI platforms, the TSP report provides additional leverage for ectasia screening. The CLMI.X asymmetry detection metrics, developed by Prof. Cynthia Roberts, assess the probability of corneal ectasia by taking into account the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces and the corneal thickness, which aids in the precise assessment of corneal asymmetries. When combined with the Santiago PTA Report, which calculates ectasia risk after refractive surgery, clinicians can better assess patient suitability for LASIK or PRK, leading to more personalized treatment plans.

Both PTA, CLMI.X and TSP are color coded to ensure fast and easy understanding of refractive screening.

IOL

Constant Optimization Tool

The IOL Constant Optimization Tool enables GALILEI G6 users to optimize the constants for a given IOL model based on refractive outcome and surgeon technique. Such optimized IOL constants enhance the precision and accuracy of IOL power calculations, leading to improved visual outcomes for patients.

By continually refining the constants used in IOL calculations based on a surgeon‘s specific results, the tool increases the accuracy of IOL power predictions, reduces refractive surprises, and increases patient satisfaction.

IOL Con

Our team imagined the advantages that a seamless integration with IOL Con would mean for doctors looking to import specific lens data into their GALILEI devices. The team did just that and this integration is not just a convenience; it‘s a transformative tool that elevates patient care to new heights. Doctors can swiftly select the perfect lens for each unique patient, ensuring optimal vision outcomes and a tailored approach to eye health. 

With IOL Con, ophthalmologists gain access to a meticulously curated repository of lens specifications and optimized constants from leading manufacturers. IOL Con stands as a beacon of innovation, offering a comprehensive database that revolutionizes the way intraocular lenses are managed and utilized.
