On Wednesday, the company disclosed first-quarter preliminary results and revised its FY25 outlook.
The company sees first-quarter revenue of around $37.9 million, up 28% year over year and down 6% quarter over quarter, and below the consensus of $40.14 million.
RxSight projects the sale of 27,579 Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL/LAL+), with a growth of 36%Y/Y increase in procedure volume.

Ron Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer and President of RxSight, said, “Given RxSight’s more significant installed base of surgeons and practices, we now must navigate headwinds affecting the overall premium IOL market and broader economy that were less impactful when our commercial footprint was much smaller.”
“To address current market conditions, as well as our long-term opportunity to transform the practice of premium cataract surgery, we will continue to refine our clinical education and practice adoption programs, support new customer business models, drive innovative product enhancements and advance international expansion.”
The company expects to announce the first quarter of 2025 results on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
