Innovation & Vision
We deliver our products through three complementary businesses,
each providing specific solutions to address patients’ refractive
needs at certain stages of life.
- Our Eye Care business captures teens
and young adults as they are introduced to contact lens wear.
We work with their eye care practitioners to offer contact lens
disinfection, cleaning and wetting formulations that protect and
lubricate ocular surfaces, relieve dryness and irritation and
increase overall contact lens comfort.
- Our Laser Vision Correction business
focuses on refractive patients over age 21 seeking freedom from
eye glasses or contact lenses. As the world’s No. 1 laser
vision correction company, we offer refractive practices the industry’s
most advanced technologies. These are designed to achieve superior
visual outcomes with fewer complications, enhance surgeon productivity
and break down consumer fears regarding LASIK treatments.
- Our Cataract/Implant business addresses
needs of patients over age 60 and suffering from cataracts and
presbyopia. We provide ultrasonic lens removal systems, viscoelastics,
aspheric IOLs that provide improved functional vision by reducing
spherical aberration and multifocal IOLs that provide excellent
near, intermediate and distance vision without eyeglasses. With
our innovations, ophthalmic surgeons can optimise each patient’s
visual function based on their individual need.
Our ability to link our businesses together to form a potent technological
offering is our point of differentiation in the market and the cornerstone
of our complete refractive solution approach.
AMO is also an active corporate citizen supporting a variety of
charitable organisations including the American Red Cross, United
Way and Optometry Giving Site.
AMO also provides products to doctors who embark on missions to
improve the quality of eye care in underdeveloped countries.
For AMO, it’s about Vision. For life.
