AI-Driven Innovation in Eye Surgery
Oculum is developing an AI-powered imaging system that replaces chemical dyes with real-time virtual staining, enabling surgeons to visualize transparent eye tissues safely, consistently, and without delay.
The Future of Surgical Visualization
Current surgical dyes are slow, inconsistent, and risky.
Eye surgeons rely on chemical stains like ICG and TA to visualize transparent tissues during procedures like ILM peeling—but these dyes extend surgery time, depend heavily on surgeon technique, and carry risks of toxicity, glaucoma, and off-label regulatory complications..
Oculum replaces chemical dyes with real-time AI-powered virtual staining.
Our modular imaging system integrates seamlessly with existing surgical microscopes to deliver consistent, dye-free tissue visualization, which improves patient safety, reduces procedure time, and unlocks scalable, FDA-ready innovation in ophthalmic surgery.
