Mission of the project
About the Project
PRISM-CAT is developing a revolutionary diagnostic instrument that objectively assesses visual quality in eyes with intraocular lenses (IOLs). This innovative device addresses a critical gap in cataract surgery care by enabling clinicians to accurately evaluate surgical outcomes and assist surgeons in pre-surgical planning.
The Challenge
Despite advances in cataract surgery and premium IOLs, up to 20-30% of patients experience dissatisfaction with their vision post-surgery. Current diagnostic tools cannot adequately assess how these advanced lenses perform in real-world conditions, leaving clinicians unable to fully address patient concerns.
Our Innovation
The PRISM-CAT project aims to develop an instrument that measures the eye's Point Spread Function (PSF) using both visible and infrared light—a capability unavailable in any commercial device today. This provides comprehensive, objective data on visual quality, enabling:
Personalized IOL selection before surgery
Accurate post-operative outcome assessment
Better understanding of patient complaints
Improved surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction
Project Details
Duration: 36 months (May 2025 - April 2028)
Funding: Eureka-Eurostars Programme
Partners: Diestia Systems (Greece) & Voptica (Spain)
Revolutionary Diagnostic Technology
Revolutionary Diagnostic Technology
Developing the first commercial instrument capable of measuring the eye's Point Spread Function using both visible and infrared light. This breakthrough technology will provide clinicians with unprecedented objective data on visual quality, particularly for patients with premium intraocular lenses.
Improving Patient Outcomes
Improving Patient Outcomes
Addressing a critical need in cataract surgery care. With up to 30% of patients experiencing post-surgical dissatisfaction, our instrument will enable personalized IOL selection and accurate outcome assessment, significantly improving surgical success rates and patient satisfaction for millions worldwide.
Personalized Surgical Planning
Personalized Surgical Planning
Empowering surgeons with detailed, patient-specific optical data before surgery. Our technology assists in selecting the most appropriate intraocular lens for each individual, moving cataract surgery toward truly personalized care and optimizing visual outcomes.
Clinical Innovation
Clinical Innovation
Bringing cutting-edge optical science from the laboratory to clinical practice. Through collaboration between leading research institutions in Greece and Spain, we're translating advanced optical engineering and algorithm development into practical tools that clinicians can use daily.
