SoCal-Based Ocutrx Unveils ORLenz for Surgery Visualization

Ocutrx Vision Technologies, LLC, a SoCal-based technology startup developing augmented reality technology as well as their own AR Wear headset, recently unveiled a potentially game-changing piece of technology for surgeons.

This tech comes in the form of what they are calling the ORLenz for Surgery Visualization, which includes pioneering technology integrated into their flagship Oculenz AR Wear headset.

The ORLenz tech was developed specifically for surgeons and retinal specialists to utilize during procedures as an aid for delivering the most effective care possible. The ORLenz allows for a 120 degree field of view and a resolution of sixty pixels per degree for 20/20 visibility—the highest resolution the human eye can discern. Ocutrx has developed its own 6doF (six degrees of freedom) platform for enhanced 2D and 3D graphics and holograms. MedTiles provide an overlay of vital surgery information on the 3D picture of the surgery site.

“We have been looking forward to the debut of our new ORLenz for Surgery Visualization feature for quite some time now as we’ve painstakingly worked to fine tune the technology for optimal utility among surgeons across a wide variety of specialties and needs,” said Michael Freeman, CEO and CTO of Ocutrx. “Unveiling the prototype at the American Academy of Ophthalmology will provide an opportunity for hands-on demonstrations of the technology within a community of processionals who have been extremely vocal in expressing their interest in the value this tool will be able to offer them during delicate procedures.”

The ORLenz is currently in prototype form now, with the final product and technology planned for deployment in mid-2020. Whenever it comes, it looks like the technological application in the surgical space may be significant.
