Bausch + Lomb said on September 10 that SeeLyra, its next femtosecond laser platform, carries a CE mark. Europe gets it for premium cataract surgery, LASIK flap creation and corneal therapeutic procedures. Live swept source OCT gives the surgeon depth imaging during the cut.
The design drops the fixed patient bed, so SeeLyra works with the beds already in the room and mounts on an articulating swing arm. That matters in a surgery center running cataract cases back to back with no bay to spare. The interface carries over from the VICTUS platform it follows. Limited European availability starts in the coming months, with broader release set for 2027. Bausch + Lomb says it is still seeking approval in the United States and has not named a date.
