for your IOL consultation and for the IOL decision of your patients
100 %
Experience
turns every one of your patients into a satisfied patient
The IOL Experience with RALV makes possible what was previously unthinkable: patients look through real IOLs and gain a genuine, subjective impression of the vision achievable after refractive lens exchange—even before the procedure. By comparing different IOLs, your patient can choose the IOL that best suits their personal preferences. For doctors, this means an unprecedented level of consultation and result reliability.
1stQ distributes the new RALV device from the Austrian manufacturer DEZIMAL in Germany and integrates the device into an optimized RLE/CLE workflow developed in-house.

1. Early patient selection
With the 1stQ quick test, you can determine at an early stage whether your patient is suitable for refractive lens exchange and what potential for improvement they have.
2. Interactive patient information
Two apps interactively and comprehensibly explain the reasons for and options of lens correction. The progressive decline in vision with age can also be experienced interactively, encouraging patients to opt for a permanent refractive IOL solution.
3. Trial vision with real IOL
Your patient experiences vision through real artificial lenses. Different lens types can be compared, personal potential for improvement can be assessed, and optical effects can be evaluated. This empowers the patient to make an informed, self-determined decision about their future lens.
4. Pre-op measurements
Your patient’s future visual performance is measured quantitatively with the exact lens they selected during the trial vision test. The measurement is carried out at three visual distances and, in addition to visual acuity, also includes contrast vision and the perception of halo/glare.
5. The surgery
The Liberty² trifocal two-lens solution also ensures the predicted surgical outcome on the IOL side. With the trifocal AddOn lens in the sulcus, Liberty² offers unique flexibility, allowing vision to be further adjusted as needed at any time.
6. Post-OP measurement
After implantation, your patient’s visual performance—including visual acuity, contrast, and halos/glare—is remeasured. RALV automatically documents both preoperative and postoperative results, enabling an easy and direct comparison.

The device
The device innovation from DEZIMAL GmbH makes it possible to experience vision with real IOLs even before lens exchange.
“When it comes to eyesight, only the best is good enough. That’s why it’s such a huge relief to have found the right lens for me with RALV.”
Evi HagerEntrepreneur
“Thanks to RALV and the Liberty² IOL, my glasses now just sit on the windowsill – I’m free from glasses! Exactly as RALV predicted.”
Frank MaischTool and Machine Builder
“The visual experience with RALV convinced me to go ahead with the surgery. The halo test was very interesting, as it provided a clear idea of what to expect postoperatively.”
Dr. Thomas GehardOphthalmologist
“RALV took away my fear and gave me the decisive push to go for the lens surgery, even with multifocal lenses.”
Karlheinz KnörzerPhysiotherapist
“As a photographer, my vision is trained – seeing is my central tool. All the more overwhelming is that my visual experience with RALV feels completely natural and authentic – not a simulation, but true sight as I know it.”
And efficient! With its innovative tools, 1stQ supports you and your team in providing your patients with the best possible advice. The interactive apps make it easier for patients to understand the procedure and at the same time make your process smart, digital and patient-oriented.
Interactive quick test
Selecting RLE patients safely
With the quick test from 1stQ, you can determine in a short time whether your patient is suitable for refractive lens exchange, i.e. whether he would benefit from a CLE or RLE at the current time. The potential for improvement is measured quantitatively and documented automatically.
Virtual Vision Experience 1
Next level patient information
This app is characterized by high-end visualization and intuitive interactivity. Patients can understand the reasons for the reduction in their vision and find out about the principal options for lens correction. The integrated AR tool allows patients to discover what it is like to see with an artificial lens.
Virtual Vision Experience 2
Vision loss fast forward
The purpose of this app is to make the positive effect of refractive lens replacement tangible. Virtual reality is used to demonstrate how vision changes with age, which visual functions are lost and how this problem can be solved with IOLs.
The IOL Experience with RALV takes practices to a whole new level in the refractive care of their patients.

What doctors say about the IOL Experience with RALV
“RALV not only helps patients to make an informed decision, but also provides us doctors with additional information for advising and planning the operation. More safety is not possible.”
Dr. Martin Dörner
“In my opinion, the advantages of RALV are that for the first time the patient can be given real vision through a multifocal lens and this gives the opportunity to realistically present postoperative expectations and perhaps minimize the desire for explantation postoperatively.”
Prof. Dr. Gangolf Sauder
„For the first time, we can really show our patients what they will experience when they get a presbyopia correcting IOL in their eyes implanted.“
Prof. Dr. Ramin Khoramnia
„RALV really adds to the instruments that we might need in order to improve our work.“
Dr. Kjell Gunnar Gundersen
“RALV is not a simulation device, it uses real IOLs. The device enables an authentic visual experience where the patient can experience the actual potential improvement in their quality of life without glasses.”
Dr. Friederike Dörner (FEBO)
“For the first time, patients can test and directly compare different lens optics before the operation – this determines the subjectively best visual impression. This contributes significantly to satisfaction after RLE.”
Dr. Stefan Christmann
“For us doctors, RALV brings a whole new dimension of consultation security – especially for patients who want to be independent of glasses after RLE.”
Dr. Johanna Dörner
“With RALV, we can put our patients in a position to make their own decisions about their future vision. RALV finally gives me the security to provide the best possible care for those patients who want to be spectacle-free.”
Dr. Aziz Iltümür
“I was really impressed by the quality. RALV gives us confidence when advising our patients.”
Dr. Karsten Klabe
