Ocumetics - Company Profile

Ocumetics produces Intraocular lenses and Camera optic devices. As of 2016, the company has not yet publicly described how their technology works. Here is how the company describes its offerings - " With age, the naturally occurring crystalline lens of the eye undergoes changes that make it cloudier and become a cataract. As a cataract, not only does it cause visual acuity and quality of vision deteriorate, there may also be a release of toxic agents from the cataractous lens into the anterior chamber of the eye. These substances have the potential to induce glaucoma and damage the endothelial cell layer of the cornea, which is necessary for the cornea to remain clear.. The Bionic LensTM is constructed of inert biocompatible polymeric materials that do not cause such adverse biophysical changes within the eye. "The Bionic Lens is currently undergoing clinical trials and does not have regulatory approvals. According to the company the first Ocumetics Bionic Lens could be available as soon as 2017.
