Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - August 18, 2025 - Ocumetics Technology Corp. (“Ocumetics” or the “Company”) (TSXV: OTC) (OTCQB: OTCFF) (FRA: 2QBO), a leader in advanced ophthalmic technology, is pleased to announce a monumental achievement in its mission to revolutionize vision correction: the successful implantation of its groundbreaking accommodating intraocular lens (the “Ocumetics Lens”) in human subjects.

 

“This is a moment of immense pride for our team and everyone who has believed in Ocumetics from the beginning,” said Dean Burns, President and CEO of Ocumetics. “For nearly two decades, we’ve been focused on a bold vision, one that many thought was out of reach. Our scientists, engineers, clinical advisors, and partners have poured their hearts into this innovation. Today we celebrate this success, but we know the work is far from done. There are millions of people waiting for us to get the Ocumetics Lens to market, and we are more driven than ever to bring this solution to the world.”

 

This achievement marks a major inflection point in the Company’s 18-year journey; one defined by relentless innovation, determination, and belief in the possibility of restoring dynamic vision. The procedures were completed without complications.  Early post-operative results will be available in several weeks and ongoing study results will be released over several months as they become available.  

 

“The Ocumetics accommodating intraocular lens has the potential to reshape the global standard of care first for cataract, and eventually, presbyopia patients,” adds Burns. “This milestone reinforces Ocumetics’ position as a leader in the next generation of ophthalmic innovation. With aging populations around the globe demanding better vision solutions, the potential impact of the Ocumetics Lens is profound.”

 

Unlike traditional monofocal or multifocal intraocular lenses, the Ocumetics Lens is designed to work with the natural movements of the eye, potentially restoring the ability to see both distant and near objects clearly without glasses or contacts following cataract surgery.

 

The Company will now continue its first-in-human clinical trial program, with additional implantations scheduled over the coming months. Each step brings Ocumetics closer to validating the safety and performance of the Ocumetics Lens, paving the way for regulatory approvals and broader clinical use.

 

Investors, partners, and medical professionals are encouraged to follow the Company’s updates as the clinical trial progresses.
