How it works
01

Upload the video

Drop in a phaco recording from any microscope. No manual tagging.

02

AI reviews it

Phases are segmented and each rubric item is scored against expert benchmarks.

03

Get the report

Scored steps, written feedback, and the exact clip to re-watch for each one.

For institutions

One standard for every resident, every case.

Standardized assessment

Every case is scored against the same ICO-OSCAR: Phaco rubric — the validated standard developed by panels of international experts — so feedback stays consistent across instructors and residents.

Objective longitudinal tracking

Competency trends per resident and per surgical step, month by month — ready for portfolio reviews and milestone committees.

Program-level oversight

Directors see where the cohort stands against benchmarks, which steps lag behind, and where wet-lab time pays off most.

No expert nearby?

Structured feedback, even without an attending in the room.

Many trainees operate where expert supervision time is scarce. MentorLens reviews every recorded case, grades each step against the rubric, and tells you exactly what to work on next — so no case goes unlearned-from.

Feedback on every case — not just the ones an attending can sit through
Rubric-grounded recommendations for your next case and the wet lab
Ready in minutes, in your language
Expert review loop

Send your report to an expert. Get verdicts back.

AI feedback is the start, not the end. Share your performance review with an attending: they confirm or challenge each item's score and leave comments, and you see exactly where the AI and the expert agree.

Share your report

Your attending or program director opens the same step-by-step report you see.

They review each step

Agree, disagree, or unsure — with optional comments — on every scored item.

You get expert feedback

Verdicts and comments land on your report, with an agreement rate that keeps the AI honest.

Do you agree with the AI's assessment of “Capsulorrhexis: Initiation”?

Dr. Sarah Al-Mansoori
Attending Ophthalmologist · Cataract & Anterior Segment

Agree with the AI here — six re-grasps is on the high side for this stage. Focus on one confident tangential pull instead of correcting mid-tear, and this becomes a 4 next case.

Incision & Paracentesis

Advanced BeginnerScore 4 / 5AI confidence: High
Why this score
  • Incision well-placed and parallel to the iris
  • Minor leakage under local pressure at the end of the case
Recommendation
  • Construct a longer, more posterior tunnel for a self-sealing valve
  • Plan paracentesis placement relative to your dominant working hand before prepping
  • Confirm a watertight seal with stromal hydration before moving on

To reach Competent: make the incision parallel to the iris, self-sealing, adequately sized, and giving good access for maneuvering.

Grounded in peer-reviewed research

AI can already tell a trainee from an attending — from video alone.
