Advanced Medical Optics (EYE)

Monofocal foldable IOLs — Monofocal foldable IOLs are artificial lenses used to replace the human lens.

Implantation systems — Implantation systems are designed and used specifically to implant IOLs during cataract surgery.

Phacoemulsification systems — Phacoemulsification systems use ultrasound during small incision cataract surgery to break apart and remove the cloudy human lens prior to its replacement with an IOL.

Viscoelastics — Viscoelastics provide a barrier of protection for the cornea during phacoemulsification and maintain the shape of the eye during IOL insertion.

Tecnis — a family of foldable IOLs with an aspheric surface. The Tecnis lens is the first IOL to receive FDA approval for claims of improved functional vision, which can result in quicker recognition of objects in lower-light conditions. The Tecnis lens was the first aspheric lens designated as a “new technology intraocular lens” by the U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) (formerly the Health Care Financing Administration). With this designation, ambulatory surgery centers can receive $50 in additional reimbursement when implanting the Tecnis IOL. The three-piece Tecnis lens is available globally in acrylic and silicone. The new Tecnis 1-piece IOL combines the Tecnis aspheric optic with proprietary advances in 1-piece IOL design and is available in the U.S. and Europe in an acrylic material.

Sensar — an acrylic monofocal IOL, with the patented OptiEdge design, intended to reduce lens epithelial cell migration, in order to lessen the need for subsequent corrective laser procedures, and to reduce the potential for unwanted glare and reflections following implantation.

ClariFlex — a silicone monofocal IOL, also with the OptiEdge design.

WhiteStar Signature — the WhiteStar Signature system is our premium system and our newest to the market. The WhiteStar Signature system combines the proven performance of proprietary WhiteStar technology, which creates less heat and turbulence in the ocular environment, with the safety of advanced Fusion fluidics to optimize patient outcomes.

Sovereign Compact — is a mid-sized phacoemulsification system designed to meet surgeons’ needs for an advanced phacoemulsification system, with the similar functionality of the WhiteStar Signature system, in a smaller, more portable size. The Sovereign Compact system is also available with Occlusion Mode, our proprietary fluidics system, and WhiteStar technology.

Diplomax II — is a small-sized phacoemulsification system designed for surgeons who need a less expensive and more portable machine. These systems do not include WhiteStar technology, but do employ Occlusion Mode technology.

Irrigating Solutions. We offer irrigating solutions for use in cataract surgery to help maintain space in the eye and to aid in removing residual tissue during phacoemulsification. Irrigating solutions are balanced saline solutions that are compatible with the natural fluid of the anterior segment of the eye.

Custom Eye Trays. We work with partners in our local markets to offer custom eye trays to our customers. These custom eye trays typically consist of all of the ancillary items that a surgeon needs to use in a single cataract surgery, such as surgical knives, drapes, gloves and gowns. Our partners typically handle assembly, distribution and billing for the product and in most cases we receive a fee per tray from our partners.

Capsular Tension Rings. We also sell capsular tension rings, which are inserted into the capsular bag during cataract surgery and function to stabilize the capsular bag during placement of an IOL.
