This marks the culmination of our dedication and focus to bringing the next generation technology to cataract surgeons. We are proud to partner with Dr. Weinstock as the first surgeon to integrate ALLY into his renowned practice for refractive cataract surgery.

Following ALLY’s FDA clearance in June 2022, LENSAR has been working closely with select cataract surgeons and surgery centers to integrate the ALLY System and provide more of their patients with a premium cataract surgery experience. ALLY’s size and ergonomics are designed to facilitate completing the entire cataract surgery procedure in a single, sterile setting, reducing the overall time and improving the experience for the patient and surgeon. In addition to increased efficiencies, ALLY’s proprietary features are designed to enable surgeons to deliver improved clinical outcomes. ALLY’s state-of-the-art Augmented Reality™ and Cataract Density Imaging is intended to provide surgeons with a new level of guidance and confidence while performing surgery. LENSAR expects to install 8 to 12 ALLY Systems in 2022 as part of a controlled, commercial launch.

“ALLY is changing the way surgeons are approaching cataract surgery. With improved efficiencies, ALLY is designed to enable surgeons to offer a premium cataract surgery experience to more patients. ALLY is primed to assist surgeons in meeting the increasing demands of the large, fast-growing, cataract patient population with a premium, efficient experience,” added Mr. Curtis. “We look forward to strengthening our relationships and providing responsive, best-in-class customer service to each center using LENSAR technologies. With ALLY coming to market at a time where first generation femtosecond lasers have significantly aged, ALLY provides an opportunity for surgeons to continue to provide laser cataract surgery with a reliable, next generation platform. LENSAR’s first-generation LLS systems have demonstrated a 99.7% uptime rating – a true laser workhorse – and we are aiming for ALLY to exceed these service ratings. Overall, our objective is to exceed surgeon, staff and patient expectations across all measures of performance.”
