New publication: optical characterization of the spiral RayOne Galaxy lens

Together with Prof. Damien Gatinel and Amy Entin, we performed the first independent optical characterization of the RayOne Galaxy — an innovative spiral intraocular lens — using high-resolution Mach–Zehnder interferometry. The study, published in Biomedical Optics Express, reveals how the lens's unique design mechanism produces its extended range of vision, providing a stronger scientific basis for understanding the next generation of intraocular lenses.
