PUNE:  In a major step forward in laser eye surgery technology, Worlds fastest and most advanced bladeless laser system (VisuMax 800 Femtosecond Laser System by ZEISS) has been installed at PBMA’s H.V. Desai Eye Hospital. This is the first such kind of installation in the state of Maharashtra.  The information was given at a press conference by senior eye surgeons Dr Mukesh Paryani,  Dr Varsha Puranik, and Dr Sanket Kulkarni. 

Parvez Billimoria, Executive Director, and Dr. Rahul Deshpande, Chief Medical Director, H.V. Desai Eye Hospital, were also present on the occasion.

Dr. Mukesh Paryani opined that getting rid of glasses is more than a cosmetic requirement now. It has become a necessity in many professional and sports settings, where clear vision without the hindrance of eyewear can significantly enhance performance, safety, and confidence. One of the ways to get rid of glasses and contact lenses is to undergo laser procedures called refractive surgery. One of the major procedures used for refractive surgeries is SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), which is used to change the shape of the cornea so that the light rays are focused on the cornea and the refractive error (glasses power) is removed. This latest technology uses ultrafast femtosecond ( tiny fraction of a second)  laser pulses ( short bursts of light generated by lasers)  to create a precise lenticule (  a disc-shaped piece of corneal tissue ), which is then removed. This is faster and safer and is an important milestone for refractive surgeries in Maharashtra. 

Dr. Varsha Puranik said that the highly automated and robotic machine delivers higher precision, shorter procedure time, and less discomfort, resulting in faster recovery and better safety. This next-generation femtosecond laser system creates data-driven insights to help surgeons better manage treatment.  While the machine is highly automated, the surgeon plays a crucial role in planning the treatment, guiding the laser application, performing the lenticule removal, and ensuring precision and patient safety throughout the procedure.

Dr. Sanket Kulkarni said that the patients undergo a comprehensive eye examination for eligibility. This includes Corneal tomography, Refraction, and visual acuity, and a complete, comprehensive examination of the eye. While proper precautions are necessary as prescribed by the ophthalmologist, most patients can resume normal activities within 3 days, with significant visual improvement noted within a day or two. Full visual recovery may take around 4 weeks.

Parvez Bilimoria, Executive Director, H.V. Desai Eye Hospital, said, “We have been at the forefront of delivering world-class eye care services. The new installation is a part of continuous advancements to bring cutting-edge solutions at affordable costs.  It reflects our commitment to leverage the latest advancements in medical technologies with minimally invasive techniques and faster recovery times“.

Dr. Rahul Deshpande, Chief Medical Director, H.V. Desai Eye Hospital, said that “H.V. Desai is a comprehensive eye care institute, providing high-quality tertiary eye care in all sub-specialities, including  Cataract surgery, Cornea, Glaucoma, Retina, ROP, Paediatric ophthalmology, Oculoplasty, Refractive error correction (LASIK). The hospital is recognised as a leader in comprehensive eye care, and has been providing all specialised eye care-related services in more than 10 districts of Maharashtra around Pune through a network of more than 40 Vision Centres.”

To enhance last-mile logistics, Ecom Express addresses common issues faced by the logistics and e-commerce sector. With 80% of addresses relying on landmarks up to 1.5 km away, geolocating becomes a hurdle, causing an average deviation of about 500 m between the written address and the doorstep. The newly launched Bulls.ai solution improves operational accuracy by correcting, standardizing, and predicting geo-coordinates for addresses across the length and breadth of the vast topology of India, not just in metro and tier-1 cities but also into hinterlands of tier-2 cities and beyond where the address quality becomes inferior.

The solution revolutionizes the potential of Indian e-commerce and online seller brands by its ability to boost delivery quality by up to 60%, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce logistics costs by up to 30%.

Amit Choudhary, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Ecom Express stated “As a part of our continued journey of technology and AI-driven logistics services, Bulls.ai fills the address-piece of the puzzle, which is a fundamental capability required in large-scale e-commerce logistics. We are proud of this development.”

Dr. Manjeet Dahiya, Vice President and Head of Data Sciences, at Ecom Express, said, “Bulls.ai is a foundational large-language model for resolving and understanding postal addresses in India, which is a key for driving automated e-commerce logistics. The model is trained on already available billions of addresses data where Ecom Express has delivered and continues to evolve further.”

This launch reaffirms Ecom Express’s commitment to leveraging technology for superior logistics services and ensuring an unparalleled customer experience. The company’s investment in modern generative AI, like Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT), highlights its focus on staying at the forefront of technological advancements.

As a first, the company is planning to open the API to its customers to validate their user addresses.
