LENSAR® Revolutionizes Cataract Treatment with ALLY® System: A Game Changer for Ophthalmology Groups
Gracie Gottlieb | 24 July, 2023
The adoption of the ALLY System by multiple ophthalmology groups signals the appreciation for this cutting-edge technology. LENSAR, Inc., a global medical technology company, has successfully installed the ALLY Systems in five private equity-owned (PE-owned) ophthalmology groups, including EyeSouth Partners' network. This collaboration demonstrates the increasing interest in the ALLY System's procedure speed and operational efficiency.
Private equity-owned ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) have claimed 14% of the cataract surgical market in the United States. The ALLY System presents an exciting opportunity for these groups, offering numerous advantages over legacy cataract treatment technologies. By partnering with these groups, LENSAR can bring the benefits of the ALLY System to a broader group of surgeons and patients early in the launch cycle.
The ALLY System has received high praise from surgeons who have experienced its benefits firsthand. Matthew B. Kaufman, M.D., Managing Partner of North Georgia Eye Associates, an EyeSouth Practice in Gainesville, GA, attests to the enhanced accuracy and better outcomes the ALLY System has brought to his cataract surgeries. The integrated pre-op data and imaging, along with automated features like cataract density grading and toric IOL alignment tools, have ensured precise placement of each lens.
Meanwhile, Jack M. Chapman, Jr., M.D., Managing Partner of North Georgia Eye Associates and EyeSouth Physician Advisory Board Co-Chair, notes the efficiency of performing a sterile procedure with the ALLY System. The procedure, which takes only one to two minutes, has significantly improved the patient experience compared to the traditional eight to ten-minute procedure.
The impact of the ALLY System extends beyond EyeSouth Partners. Other notable PE-owned ASCs, including US Eye, Eye Health America, Vision Innovation Partners, and Eyecare Partners, have also embraced the ALLY System, further solidifying its position as a game changer in the field of ophthalmology.
