SVG sets new surgical planning standard at Panama Eye Center

Dr. Belén López Murzi shares her experience after two years of clinical use, during FacoElche 2025’s Innovation Space

Elche, Spain – During the Laureano Álvarez-Rementería Innovation Space at FacoElche 2025, Dr. Belén López Murzi shared her insights after two years of working with SimVis Gekko in the preoperative cataract and clear lens consultation at Panama Eye Center.

Her presentation, titled “Beyond theory,” explored how SimVis Gekko has moved from being a novel innovation to becoming a daily clinical tool. After two years of use, it is now considered a standard in preoperative decision-making, helping both patients and surgeons make more confident, informed choices in cataract and refractive procedures.

According to Dr. López Murzi, SimVis Gekko enables:

• A clearer understanding of multifocality, helping to set realistic expectations—especially in patients with doubts or anxiety.
• Informed decisions based on patients’ real-time visual responses and tolerance to different corrections.
• Safe and confident exploration of advanced lens combinations, including microvision and mix-and-match.
• Delivery of a premium patient experience, differentiating their practice from others.
• Increased patient satisfaction and surgical volume, while maintaining high adoption rates of trifocal and EDOF lenses.
• Integration as a daily tool in surgical planning, considered now a standard of care by the surgical team at Panama Eye Center.

“SimVis Gekko has become a key part of how we plan and personalize every cataract procedure,” said Dr. López Murzi. “It brings clarity to our patients and confidence to our team.”
