Johnson & Johnson Vision Highlights Latest Innovations at ESCRS 2017 Meeting in Lisbon, Portugal
highlighted in scientific presentations underscore company’s commitment to improving and restoring sight for patients worldwide
SANTA ANA, Calif. (October 5, 2017) – Johnson & Johnson Vision will showcase its latest innovations in Surgical Vision at the XXXV Congress of the ESCRS, including the introduction of the new iDESIGN® Refractive Studio, as well as a first-look at the CATALYS® System Mobile Patient Bed. In addition to activities at the Johnson & Johnson Vision booth (P1127), attendees have the opportunity to learn more via a broad range of presentations and poster sessions.
“We are showcasing patient-centric innovation with the launch of the iDESIGN® Refractive Studio, CATALYS® System Mobile Patient Bed, and our newest dry eye medical device technologies through our acquisition of TearScience,” said Tom Frinzi, Worldwide President, Surgical, Johnson & Johnson Vision. “All of these uniquely address unmet patient needs through innovations in customization and patient comfort.”
Johnson & Johnson Vision began its journey more than 30 years ago when it first entered the eye health market and grew through its world-leading ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lens portfolio. The acquisition of Abbott Medical Optics in 2017 added strong and differentiated surgical ophthalmic technologies to the company’s portfolio. The latest acquisition of TearScience further strengthens the Johnson & Johnson Vision portfolio, adding technologies that address Meibomian Gland Dysfunction – the leading underlying cause of Dry Eye Disease.
Johnson & Johnson Vision is presenting at ESCRS through its surgical vision operating company, Abbott Medical Optics Inc.
ESCRS HIGHLIGHTS
iDESIGN® Refractive Studio
Johnson & Johnson Vision introduces the new iDESIGN® Refractive Studio which enhances the current wavefront-guided treatment with corneal topography measurements to deliver the next level of customized treatment to further drive high patient satisfaction and provide quality visual outcomes.
CATALYS® PRECISION LASER SYSTEM
Johnson & Johnson Vision launches the CATALYS® Precision Laser System Mobile Patient Bed.
The Mobile Patient Bed is the latest innovation for the CATALYS® System, and it is designed to optimize workflow from cataract patient preparation through postsurgical recovery. The bed integrates seamlessly with the CATALYS® System through Bluetooth connectivity and the ergonomic design includes a headrest designed to stabilize the patient’s head for cataract surgery. The ability to adapt the bed to multiple positions and back conditions helps ensure premium comfort for patients.
DRY EYE DISEASE MEDICAL DEVICE TECHNOLOGY
In September, Johnson & Johnson Vision completed its acquisition of TearScience, Inc., expanding the company’s eye health portfolio and its presence in the growing Dry Eye Disease (DED) treatment market. TearScience is a medical device manufacturer of products dedicated to evaluating meibomian gland health and treating meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), the leading cause of DED.(1)
It is well recognized that DED is a significant unmet need, affecting an estimated 340 million patients worldwide – and MGD is the leading cause. Johnson & Johnson Vision seeks to accelerate the development and expansion of these medical device technologies to reach more eye health providers and patients.
