About Iovision

Manufacturer of intraocular lenses. The company received FDA approval of Baerveldt glaucoma implant in May 1991. This device is implanted in the eye, allowing the eye to drain and relieve the pressure. Unlike other implantable glaucoma devices, the Baerveldt implant is not pressure sensitive. Currently under development are high optical quality monofocal and multifocal lenses for cataract patients. Both types of lenses are silicon based, and easily implanted in patients following cataract surgery. These lenses will be more durable and less expensive to produce than current intraocular implants provided by Allergan.
