Rayner Galaxy lenses are state-of-the-art trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange (RLE) to replace the eye’s natural lens. They’re designed to restore seamless, spectacle-free vision across near, intermediate, and distance ranges.
What sets Galaxy apart is its spiral non-diffractive optic design, which progressively elongates focus to deliver a smooth visual transition and 0% light loss. This avoids the harsh “stepped” vision of some traditional trifocals and helps minimise unwanted optical disturbances like halos and glare — especially in low-light environments.
Crafted in the UK by Rayner, the Galaxy lens is available in both standard and Toric models (for astigmatism), offering exceptional stability and clarity for a wide range of patients.
The procedure is quick and comfortable, typically performed under local anaesthetic in 10 minutes per eye. During surgery, your natural lens is gently removed and replaced with the Galaxy IOL.
Galaxy is delivered via Rayner’s RayOne fully preloaded injector system, using a micro-incision of just 2.2 mm. This low-stress technique protects eye tissue, speeds up healing, and ensures optimal placement of the lens.
Most patients return home the same day, with noticeable improvements to their vision within 24–48 hours.
Rayner Galaxy is one of the newest trifocal lenses we offer — combining UK precision with outstanding results for modern patients.
Curious how Rayner Galaxy lenses compare to other implant options? The table below outlines the key differences between Galaxy, standard trifocals, and monofocal lenses — helping you make an informed decision based on clarity, flexibility, and long-term results.
| Feature | Rayner Galaxy Lenses | Standard Trifocal Lenses | Monofocal Lenses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Procedure Type | RLE / Cataract – replaces natural lens | RLE / Cataract – replaces natural lens | Cataract – replaces natural lens |
| Vision Range | Seamless near, intermediate & distance vision | Three distinct focal zones | Distance only |
| Technology | Spiral non-diffractive trifocal optics (0% light loss) | Diffractive optics with multiple focal points | Fixed single focus |
| Contrast & Low Light | Exceptional clarity with minimal halo or glare | Moderate contrast; some dysphotopsia | Excellent distance contrast |
| Spectacle Independence | Very high — most no longer use glasses | Very high — depends on patient adaptation | Low — reading glasses typically required |
| Astigmatism Correction | Yes — Galaxy Toric available with stable axis positioning | Yes, available in toric versions | Limited correction for astigmatism |
| Injector System | Preloaded RayOne injector, 2.2 mm incision, fast healing | Varies by brand and model | Varies |
| Ideal For | Active lifestyles, high visual demands, premium outcomes | General multifocal use | Patients prioritising distance vision |
From menus and mobile phones to dashboards and distant signs, Galaxy provides a smooth visual experience across all ranges.
Its non-diffractive design reduces optical noise, making it ideal for night driving, dim lighting, and avoiding halos or glare.
Rayner is a UK-based lens innovator, producing high-grade IOLs trusted worldwide. Galaxy is a leading example of their precision manufacturing.
Galaxy is available in a Toric model — correcting astigmatism with proven rotational stability (average offset ~0.08 mm).
Delivered via the RayOne fully preloaded system, the Galaxy lens enters the eye through a tiny 2.2 mm incision — promoting fast healing and excellent surgical control.
Rayner Galaxy lenses are ideal for patients who:
They use spiral non-diffractive optics that offer a smooth, extended range of vision — with 0% light loss and minimal halos compared to traditional trifocals.
Yes. The Galaxy Toric model corrects astigmatism and offers excellent axis stability — reducing the need for additional correction.
Most patients enjoy full visual freedom across all distances. Some may use reading glasses for very fine print, but glasses dependence is greatly reduced.
Not at all. It’s done under local anaesthetic and is usually quick and comfortable. You can return home the same day.
They’re built to last a lifetime and don’t degrade or wear out. Once implanted, you’re set for long-term visual clarity.
