Efficiencies

Save More Than Your Patients’ Vision

The combined efficiencies of the ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser System™ can have striking implications for your practice.

ALLY saves time for surgeons, staff, and patients while providing options for your practice to increase revenue or save on costs1

Improve efficiency before your patient even enters the room

The ALLY System was designed with surgeons in mind, allowing for easy integration into their preferred surgery center workflow.

  • Small footprint—the smallest of all cataract lasers—fits into any OR, in-office surgery suite, or laser room
  • Superior mobility
  • Quicker, easier docking

Accommodation for any surgical environment, surgeon preference, and any eye

Efficiencies at every step reduce procedure time

  • Wireless integration with pre-op diagnostic data
  • Iris registration replaces the need for manual preoperative ink marking‡ 
  • Automated configuration and procedure planning
  • Quick and easy docking
  • Automatic customized fragmentation patterns

World’s first and only tissue-specific laser enables incisions with exceptional accuracy and speed

ALLY’s robotic laser optimizes pulse width, rep rate, and energy based on the tissue being targeted.

ALLY saves 8 minutes vs other cataract laser systems with manual marking1

Time and Motion Study Conducted at Specialty Surgical Center of Beverly Hills

Sterile procedures save time and overhead

ALLY’s small footprint allows for sterile procedures in a single OR, eliminating the need for a dedicated laser room. A seamless transition between laser and phaco enhances surgical efficiency and reduces procedure time.

The fragmentation pattern assigned by the laser represents the most efficient method for lens extraction irrespective of nuclear density.8

Custom fragmentation patterns optimize time and energy

Powered by ALLY’s proprietary Scheimpflug imaging sysem, automatic cataract density imaging identifies morphology and density of cataracts to plan the best possible fragmentation pattern and optimize energy use and time.

Up to 27% reduction

in mean phaco time

compared to manual cataract surgery (1.73 sec vs 2.38 sec)9,10

10.4% reduction

in mean CDE

Customized laser fragmentation vs. standard phacoemulsification11

*Assumes 45 surgical days per year. †45% laser cataract surgery patient conversion rate. ‡ Based on surgeon preference. ¶ Compared to the LLS.
