Rayner is promising to “decode” the first peer-reviewed clinical paper on the RayOne Galaxy intraocular lens (IOL) in less than 15 minutes, with a new podcast.
Called Peer2Peer Deep Dive, created with artificial intelligence (AI) technology and hosted on YouTube, Rayner said the groundbreaking series is designed to offer busy clinicians a “rapid, targeted breakdown” of data presented in the Journal of Refractive Surgery (JRS).1

The JRS presented compelling data on the world’s first spiral IOL, positioning it as a potentially transformative solution to the long-standing compromise between achieving a full range of vision and minimising visual disturbances.
The clinical results validate the Galaxy lens’ unique spiral technology, which was engineered using a proprietary AI engine to create a continuous variance of power across the lens surface. The approach aims to eliminate the light-splitting and abrupt power shifts seen with traditional diffractive optics.
Rayner said the core promise of the Peer2Peer Deep Dive podcast is to help listeners “understand the clinical implications of this pivotal paper in the time it takes for a short break”.
The program discusses both pre-clinical simulation and pooled clinical analysis from 10 international sites, offering a comprehensive view of the IOL’s performance.
Pre-clinical simulations showed the Galaxy’s spiral design significantly reduced halo and glare size compared to a leading trifocal, a powerful finding that was later supported by patient reports in the clinical trial.1
The clinical analysis confirmed excellent visual performance, demonstrating an uninterrupted, smooth plateau of vision.1 Crucially, the lens appears to deliver exceptional dysphotopsia profiles with 95.4% of patients reporting no or only mild haloes, and 100% reporting no or only mild glare.1
