Ziemer takes Amadeus back from AMO

The Ziemer group is to assume all worldwide marketing, sales and support duties for AMO's Amadeus II automated microkeratome.

The Amadeus product line was originally developed by a subsidiary of Ziemer and the rights were sold to AMO in 1999. Ziemer has since developed a global marketing and distribution network that it can rely on to market the Amadeus.

Ziemer also sells the Femto LDV femtosecond laser, making it the only ophthalmic company to offer a choice of microkeratome or femstosecond lasers for corneal refractive surgery.
