New York City-based Mount Sinai Health System is debuting a digital technology to assist eye surgeons during glaucoma and other ophthalmic procedures.
The tool was developed by Sean Ianchulev, MD, director of ophthalmic innovation and technology at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, which is the only eye center to conduct the first-in-human clinical study. The technology allows surgeons to measure and respond to fluid dynamics inside the eye in real time.
“We are certainly on the verge of something very exciting — bringing glaucoma surgery into the age of digital-guided precision, high fidelity, and biometric feedback,” Dr. Ianchulev said in an April 9 news release.
Mount Sinai Innovation Partners, the health system’s commercialization arm, funded the project.
