Short answer
VERION is image-guided planning for cataract surgery — digital marking of incision location and toric IOL axis to reduce human marking error. Especially valuable when astigmatism correction with a toric lens is planned.
What is this system?
Alcon VERION captures reference images pre-op and overlays registration markers in the microscope during surgery.
Where it fits in cataract or RLE surgery
Guidance layer — does not replace phaco or laser platforms; improves alignment accuracy.
Clinical benefits vs manual steps
- ✓Toric axis accuracy — misalignment reduces astigmatism correction effect.
- •Incision planning — consistent self-sealing wound placement.
- •Workflow documentation — digital record of planned vs achieved alignment.
How it pairs with premium IOLs
Used with toric PanOptix and monofocal/toric platforms; complements ORA intra-op measurements.
