Presbyopia at Arm's Length
This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
VCs have funded at least a dozen start-ups working in presbyopia, including C&C Vision, whose founder Stuart Cumming has been quietly working on an accomodating intraocular lens for more than ten years. With the FDA's Ophthalmic Devices Panel unanimously recommending premarket approval of C&C Vision's CrystaLens accommodating intraocular lens for cataract patients, his firm is very close to being able to reap a first-mover advantage in this new market.

WaveTec Prepares for a New Wave in Refractive Surgery
Refractive lens exchange is a mega opportunity in ophthalmology with the potential to serve the large patient populations with presbyopia and astigmatism. The category has been slow to take off, however, because current technology doesn't allow clinicians to meet, consistently and with confidence, the high expectations of new refractive surgery customers who are paying out of pocket for the benefit of great vision, at all distances. WaveTec has an enabling technology for a wide range of refractive surgeries to help clinicians and the many manufacturers of implantable intraocular lenses deliver on the promise of better vision.
NuLens Ltd.
Today, most of the accommodating and multifocal IOLs that address presbyopia share one thing in common: they are placed, as are the standard lenses used in routine cataract procedures, inside the capsular bag, a thin membrane surrounding the eye's natural lens. It's becoming increasingly apparent that over time, the capsular bag undergoes changes that compromise visual results. NuLens came up with the idea of not using the capsular bag as the housing for the accommodating lens.
Clarity Medical Systems Inc.
For all intents and purposes, ophthalmologists and optometrists are using the same screening and imaging technologies for diagnosing eye disorders that they have used for the past century. Clarity Medical Systems intends to disrupt the status quo with a single platform that physicians can use to screen, evaluate and one day potentially treat eye disease.
