Connectivity of devices is a big focus for Zeiss. According to Dr Kaschke, doctors want simplicity and, in order to give them this, Zeiss must commit to providing seamless workflow solutions.
As part of this enhanced product offering, one cannot forget last year’s acquisition of Acri.Tec, which well and truly catapulted the company into the IOL market.
Although it believes it now has the best lenses on the market carrying its name, new lens launches continue to be announced by Zeiss. In fact, three new lenses will soon be added to its portfolio. Specifically, the three yellow IOLs: Acri.Lyc 44YLC, Acri.Smart 46YLC, and Acri.Lyc 47YLC, will be available in Europe by the end of the year.
