Committed to taking ophthalmology to greater heights
About Us
Our company name, Centricity Vision, Inc., reflects our company’s expertise, expanded product offerings in cataract surgery, and continued commitment to customers and patients.
As a global ophthalmic technology company, we take pride in delivering innovative solutions that help surgeons across the world achieve surgical and clinical excellence.
Currently, we’re focusing on our unprecedented ZEPTO® Precision Cataract Surgery platform as it continues to advance the safety and precision of cataract surgery outcomes in a convenient, cost-effective, and disposable format. The ZEPTO® platform provides precise, repeatable, circular, and visual axis–oriented capsulotomies that facilitate 360° overlap of the IOL optic.1 ZEPTO® automates the anterior capsulotomy, using a proprietary combination of calibrated suction and a four-millisecond, multi-pulse energy algorithm to produce highly accurate capsulotomies simplifying the surgeon’s ability to align on the visual axis of the eye during surgery using patient fixation.1
Moving forward, we’ll leverage this microsurgical technology to create a suite of products for ophthalmic capsular management. Our relentless commitment to developing solutions of the highest quality and technological sophistication is uncompromising—as is our dedication to assisting physicians in delivering the best care to patients.
