JENA, Germany, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — | Carl Zeiss Meditec AG
The EVA NEXUS™ ophthalmic surgical system from ZEISS in a cataract-only configuration.
ZEISS Medical Technology, one of the world’s leading medical technology companies, today announced the availability of the EVA NEXUS™ ophthalmic surgical system from ZEISS in a dedicated cataract configuration. The trusted DORC EVA NEXUS technology is expanded and designed to offer cataract surgeons streamlined performance, stability and control in the OR. The newly configured solution will make its global debut at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) congress in London.
Designed for cataract surgeons, the DORC EVA NEXUS cataract configuration comes with a cataract grade selection feature1 with up to four programmable pre-sets allowing surgeons to select optimized phaco, aspiration, and irrigation settings for a more tailored approach to each surgical step and cataract grade with seamless activation via footswitch or screen. The solution also aims to support integration with the ZEISS Cataract Workflow. The DORC EVA NEXUS from ZEISS in a cataract-only configuration will be available first in select European countries beginning in September 2026, followed by global availability pending regional regulatory approvals.
"With the newly configured DORC EVA NEXUS cataract solution, ZEISS’ advanced technology is redefining how cataract surgeons can operate in the OR – designed for streamlined performance, stability and control – supporting surgical decisions and procedural precision," says Dr. Dominik Beck, Head of Posterior Surgery Business Sector at ZEISS Medical Technology.
"Having relied on its predecessor, DORC EVA, in my cataract surgery cases for more than a decade, I recently began using DORC EVA NEXUS, the latest generation of the platform, and have already experienced the benefits of its innovations in my everyday surgical practice. DORC EVA NEXUS benefits everyone in the operating room; my staff and I feel more in control during surgery, which contributes to an improved patient experience and surgical outcomes," says Dr. Marcus Drodofsky, cataract surgeon, Augenärzte Osnabrück (Germany).
Now integrated into the ZEISS Cataract Workflow portfolio, the DORC EVA NEXUS solution in a cataract-only configuration offers a combination of advanced technology – the VacuFlow VTi pump, SMART IOP™, and EVA EQUIPHACO™.
Performance: The DORC EVA NEXUS for cataract includes VacuFlow VTi, an advanced fluidics technology powered by Valve Timing Intelligence, to deliver precise, pulsation‑free flow or fast, responsive vacuum, providing surgeons with improved efficiency and control throughout cataract procedures.2
Stability: Unique to DORC EVA NEXUS, SMART IOP™ automatically compensates for pressure losses to maintain constant intraocular pressure. It delivers more stable, lower anterior chamber pressure and up to 73% higher responsiveness – even during post‑occlusion breaks. 2
Control: The compact, lightweight DORC EVA SURE TOUCH phaco handpiece together with the DORC EVA EQUIPHACO full range of high-performance phaco tips, with fitted color-coded sleeves makes the DORC EVA NEXUS for cataract designed for superior chamber stability and ultrasound efficiency, giving surgeons refined phaco control. The wireless Dual Linear footswitch, customizable and programmable, allows for independent control of aspiration and ultrasound.3
