Presbia PLC is a development-stage ophthalmic device company. The Company has developed and is marketing an optical lens implant for treating presbyopia, the age-related loss of the ability to focus on near objects. Its lens, which it refers to as its microlens, is a miniature lens designed to be surgically implanted in a patient’s eye for that patient’s ability to see objects at close distances. Its microlens procedure is performed using a 150 kilohertz femtosecond laser. In commercializing its solution, it intends to focus those markets with a presence of refractive laser centers equipped with femtosecond lasers. The Presbia Flexivue Microlens is a solution for the common age-related loss of the ability to read or focus on near objects. The 3mm diameter lens is implanted in a corneal pocket created by a femtosecond laser. It offers a solution for people to read common items, such as newspapers, restaurant menus, cell phone messages and supermarket labels without glasses.
