Rayner Newsroom
British manufacturer Rayner looks to the future with ambitious business transformation
Rayner is an independent British business and one of the world’s top manufacturers of intraocular lenses (IOLs) for the global market. Last year alone we produced more than 800,000 IOLs.
Part of our business philosophy from day one has been a focus on innovation to provide cataract surgeons with high-quality, functionally superior and simple solutions that provide excellent patient outcomes. Indeed, we were the first to introduce the intraocular lens in 1949. We also developed Sulcoflex, the ‘top up’ lens for secondary implantation. In addition, we have just launched the world’s first OVD containing sorbitol Free Radical Scavenging for enhanced corneal protection.
A Wider Purpose; Rayner Supports the Next Generation of Scientists and Engineers
The Human Resource department at Rayner have been busy taking part in the 2016 Coastal STEMfest, a campaign which consisted of interactive demonstrations, workshops and roadshows so that local educational institutions could link with over 90 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) businesses to encourage local school children to pursue careers in the field of science and engineering.

Voluntary Recall January 2016
Voluntary Recall January 2016. Since 1950 Rayner has been known for high levels of product quality, a record of which we are proud. Our own internal limits are often set in excess of those demanded by regulatory bodies; one such example is aluminium oxide (used for polishing IOLs) for which we set stringent internal limits even though none are specified by the relevant international ISO standards. Unfortunately, there is a possibility that certain products released to market since 11th November 2015 may contain levels of this compound that slightly exceed these self imposed limits. This potentially affects non-US products released during this period. We have taken steps to quarantine the vast majority of affected products but some 2,400 lenses were released to market across a small number of hospitals.
