We have obtained CE marking for our system which is patented and designed to assist the surgeon during the placement of multifocal, toric, or EDOF lenses — a fast-growing category of premium implants. Our business model is based on the sale of machines, recurring revenues from consumables and a pay-per-use system for each laser shot.
