Our take

With approximately 1 in 4 people developing cataracts over their lifetime, surgical procedures to remove them require delicate precision. The high demand for these surgeries means there are longer waiting times than ever before, and patient outcomes are inconsistent due to human error and limitations in dexterity.

Founded by faculty members at the University of California, Horizon Surgical Systems is a microsurgical robotics company aiming to pioneer the next generation of precision surgery to combat the condition and help minimise failures and waiting times for cataract treatment.

Horizon Surgical Systems’ flagship product Polaris merges advances in robotics, medical imagery and AI to elevate surgical precision in cataract surgery. And in 2025, the company reached a landmark milestone with the world's first cataract surgery performed using the Polaris platform, marking a huge step toward establishing a new standard of precision, consistency and safety in ophthalmic surgery as it advances further clinical studies and regulatory pathways.
