LEADING
INNOVATION

Creating precision-engineered components for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic ophthalmic devices

OVERVIEW

Innovating Ophthalmology Devices

The growing prevalence of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other ocular conditions is driving demand for ophthalmic therapies that combine micro-scale precision with minimally invasive delivery. Clinicians seek implants and instruments that deliver consistent dosing, superior flow control, and reliable performance in delicate eye anatomy—all while meeting stringent biocompatibility and regulatory requirements.

Cirtec applies expertise in microelectronics packaging, biocompatible polymers, and precision machining within a vertically integrated, ISO-certified framework. We partner with vision-care innovators to accelerate prototype development, de-risk regulatory pathways, and scale production for high-performance ophthalmology solutions.

Key advancement areas we support:

  • Glaucoma Shunts & Microstents
  • Mechanical Eye Movement Systems
  • Insertion Devices for Retinal Therapy
  • Artificial Retinas & Vision Implants
  • Thin-Film Ocular Sensors
  • Ocular Drug Delivery Implants
