Who are we?

Founded in 1994, CRISTALENS was initially a distributor of medical devices for cataract surgery.
In 2006, the company created its own production unit of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses.
In 2008, it has developed a new hydrophobic raw material (phenoxy ethyl acrylate) that allows less than 2.0 mm micro incisions.
In 2013, Cristalens received the Industrial Innovation prize with this invention.
