Rayner Newsroom

London-based Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon Mr Charles Claoué, reported the recent case of an implantation of a Rayner custom-made +42D Rayner C-flex® intraocular lens.

“Patient X, aged 57 came for refractive surgery knowing he was long-sighted having been refused by a high-street laser chain. He was aware of a right corneal scar and life-long poor vision. On examination, uncorrected visual acuities were <6/60 and BSCVA 6/18 right +15.75/-3@160 and left 6/18 +13.00/-1@125. 

2007 marks the 125th anniversary of the world-famous St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital.

To celebrate this, the hospital has launched its International Patient Relief Appeal. An icon has been created, carved out of Jerusalem stone, which is symbolic both of the Hospital’s charitable works and is a call for aid. This ‘icon’ will go on a ‘journey’ across the St John world, acting as a focal point for fundraising efforts.

Rayner today announced from the XXV Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) the launch of a new lens in the European and Asian markets: the Sulcoflex® Single Piece intraocular lens (IOL).

Rayner Intraocular Lenses Ltd proudly announced today that it received PMA (pre-market approval) for the C-flex® injectable intraocular lens from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

During the sessions of the annual CIMO Course, Dr Julián Cezón reported excellent results with his first two Rayner M-flex^®T lenses in two patients.

This morning, Rayner hosted a very successful Breakfast Seminar chaired 
by Mr. Charles Claoué (London, UK) with an internationally renowned faculty. 
Many aspects of cataract surgery and the current status of IOLs were discussed and delegates were also introduced to some exciting new possibilities in IOL technology.

“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants” 
Sir Isaac Newton

This afternoon, in collaboration with UKISCRS and St. Thomas’ Hospital, Lonndon, Rayner hosted a seminar entitled “On the shoulders of Ridley” – a celebration – on the centenary of his birth – of the innovative genius of the late Sir Harold Ridley (1906-2000): his life and work and the subsequent development and future of his great invention, the intraocular lens.

Rayner is pleased to announce the implantation of the first Rayner C-flex^® monofocal IOL with an aspheric correction.

Surgery was performed by Mr. Charles Claoué (London, UK) with very encouraging results.

The Rayner C-flex^® Aspheric IOL (and the Superflex® Aspheric IOL) are based on aberration-neutral optic technology.

First implantations of the Rayner M-flex^® Multifocal lens with added toric correction

Rayner is pleased to announce that on 28th June 2006, the first implantation of the Rayner M-flex^® Multifocal IOL with added toric correction was carried out.

The results of a study conducted at Prof. David J. Apple’s Salt Lake City laboratory and published this month*, suggest that in future intraocular lenses (IOLs) may be used to do more than simply restore vision: they could be used to deliver doses of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs inside the eye.
