Atia Vision

BIO

Atia Vision, a Shifamed portfolio company, is developing a next-generation technology for cataract surgery with its OmniVu™ Lens System, a dual-optic presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens technology. This system is designed to:  

– Deliver refractive predictability – Provide continuous vision across a broad range of defocus

– Preserve natural image quality while minimizing visual disturbances – Stabilize intraocular structures and promote capsular bag health

– Preserve future options for surgeons and patients through its modular, adaptable platform  

The OmniVu™ Lens System combines a fixed power front optic made from hydrophobic acrylic with a fluid-filled, shape-changing base made from silicone. This design is based on learnings from prior generation technologies and aims to address gaps in current solutions, with the goal of providing improved visual outcomes while maintaining long-term stability and flexibility.

Myra Vision

BIO

Seeking to answer the need for personalized glaucoma care, Myra Vision is developing the Calibreye™ Titratable Glaucoma TherapyTM (TGT) Surgical System—the next-generation solution designed for patients with glaucoma who require low intraocular pressure (IOP).

The Calibreye TGT Surgical System aims to:

  • Personalize glaucoma care by enabling adjustable outflow control
  • Provide a safe solution to IOP reduction by using biocompatible materials that conform to the eye
  • Enhance the confidence of ophthalmologists during implantation, by leveraging the well-established method of ab externo delivery
  • Reverse hypotony due to excessive flow with an adjustable feature built into its innovative design


As an unprecedented development in glaucoma care, the Calibreye TGT System is designed to improve outcomes and minimize complications associated with conventional approaches.

The Calibreye TGT Surgical System is for investigational use only and is not for sale in the US or outside the US.

NuLids

BIO

NuLiDS is an innovative eyelid care technology developed by John Olkowski, MD, a board-certified ophthalmologist and corneal specialist. Dr. Olkowski recognized the central role of eyelid care in ocular health and developed the safe, effective, and convenient NuLIDS to proactively manage common, under-diagnosed conditions like dry eye. The San Diego-based company has sold 25,000 “At Home” units and recently introduced the “PRO” in-practice version of NuLIDS globally.

NuLIDS is a small handheld electromechanical device which operates by low-speed oscillation utilizing single use disposable silicon tips. The comfortable 1-2 minute vibrating treatment is performed on a closed eye to (1) clean the eyelids and eyelashes, (2) massage the eyelids to enhance meibomian gland production and (3) remove demodex mites. With increased recognition of proactive ocular wellness, NuLIDS is uniquely positioned to enable convenient and affordable high quality lid hygiene in the office and at home.

Oculotix

BIO

Oculotix is applying AI-based software to optimize intraocular lens (IOL) model selection to improve patient vision outcomes and boost surgical efficiency in cataract and lens exchange procedures. The software provides surgeons with predictive analytics of vision outcomes and a recommended IOL model to achieve the best possible outcome for their patients.

Vision outcomes are predicted and compared to the patient’s expectations for day/night driving, spectacle-independence, and potential visual artifacts. This information provides the surgeon and patient with a quantitative pre-operative assessment, increasing the likelihood of patient satisfaction with surgical outcomes while also saving clinical time and resources. The software is particularly useful in boosting confidence in adoption of advanced technology IOLs, which can have benefits for patients well suited to the technologies available.
