For thousands in Qatar living with cataracts or blurred vision, clear sight without glasses or nighttime glare has often seemed impossible. But now, thanks to a groundbreaking procedure at The View Hospital, that future is within reach.
A First for Qatar: The AI-Powered Lens
In a regional first, The View Hospital—in partnership with Cedars-Sinai—has successfully implanted the RayOne Galaxy, a next-generation multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) designed using artificial intelligence. Developed by British manufacturer Rayner, this advanced lens offers crisp, seamless vision at all distances—near, far, and in-between—while reducing common post-surgery issues like halos and glare.
A “Game-Changer” in Eye Care
The pioneering procedure was performed by Dr. Hussein Almuhtaseb, Consultant Ophthalmologist at The View Hospital, who called the technology “transformative.”
“For patients tired of reading glasses or struggling with nighttime driving due to glare, this AI-designed lens delivers clarity, comfort, and freedom,” he said.
Unlike traditional lenses, the RayOne Galaxy features a spiral optic design, which adapts to daily activities—whether reading, driving, or using digital screens—making it ideal for modern lifestyles.
Bringing Tomorrow’s Healthcare Today
“Our goal is to offer tomorrow’s healthcare today,” said Dr. Fatih Mehmet Gul, CEO of The View Hospital. “This AI-powered lens isn’t just an innovation—it’s a life-changing solution for patients in Qatar and beyond.”
The hospital’s partnership with Cedars-Sinai underscores its commitment to cutting-edge, patient-centered care, eliminating the need for patients to travel abroad for advanced treatment.
A New Era for Vision in the Region
This milestone marks a major step in accessible, high-tech eye care for the GCC and beyond. For those who’ve waited years for better vision, The View Hospital is making that dream a reality—one lens at a time.
