Horizon Surgical Systems has completed the world's first robotic-assisted cataract surgery using their Polaris platform. This new system combines artificial intelligence with advanced robotics specifically designed for eye surgery. The technology uses real-time imaging and machine learning to guide microsurgical tools during the procedure. The goal is to make cataract surgery more consistent and precise across all patients, reducing variations that can occur based on surgeon technique or case complexity. The system aims to give surgeons greater control while improving safety and efficiency. The company plans to treat more patients in the coming months as they work toward FDA approval and commercialization of the platform.
