IOL manufacturer Rayner has launched its latest RayPRO digital innovation that seeks to solve a much-needed gap within the global ophthalmic standard of care – patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in cataract surgery.

The online, cloud-based platform is designed to save valuable chair time by collecting clinically validated PROMs autonomously via email. According to Rayner, it tracks patients’ long-term recovery over a three-year period with minimal input from the clinical staff and maximum value added to the patient pathway.

PROMs have emerged as an ideal tool for ophthalmologists to understand whether they are giving patients the vision they want, and how they are faring after discharge.

Within clinical trials PROMs are routinely collected, but as a result of time and staffing pressures outside of controlled environments, the collection of PROMs are the exception rather than the rule (Field, Holmes, & Newell, 2019).

According to Rayner, the ophthalmic sector has acknowledged that existing post-operative standards of care and clinical measurements such as visual acuity testing do not always reflect the patient’s experience or the impact of the disease on the patient’s life (Denniston, Kyte, & Burr, 2014). The lack of adherence within clinical routines to collecting PROMs data has been highlighted by many to be down to the lack of time or staff during established check-ups post-operatively.

Furthermore, the benefit of PROMs collection can help multifaceted areas of a clinic’s performance; from informing clinical decision-making to producing marketable patient feedback as well as being useful data for auditing and revalidation.

Rayner’s device-agnostic RayPRO can be used with all IOL makes and models, providing clinical staff powerful data read-out on true lens performance, powered by real-time patient feedback.

The online, cloud-based platform is designed to save valuable chair time.

The company’s latest iteration of RayPRO will launch in September 2023 and offers surgeons “a powerful comparison view”, where they will be able to segment individual lenses and compare their performance over a long-term three-year period, in real-time from patient feedback.

“RayPRO offers surgeons the best of both worlds: the ability to track real-world satisfaction with outcomes without compromising valuable chair time,” Rayner stated.

“RayPRO utilises an innovative patient upload process that allows hundreds of patients to be tracked with just three pieces of data (email address, date of surgery and IOL make/model).”

Dr Roger Zaldivar, from Argentina, is among a selection of renowned global surgeons already using RayPRO and is seeing the benefit of collecting post-operative data he previously didn’t have access to.

“Last month, I started using RayPRO to collect PROMs … it takes just a few seconds to upload a patient, but I can track their outcomes three years post-surgery. So far, my experience with the platform has been wonderful so I highly recommend it,” he said.

RayPro is available in Australia. For more info or to arrange a demonstration contact a Rayner representative, call 1300 729 637, or visit https://rayner.com/raypro/
