B&L Licenses New IOL Technology
CRST August2003
On July 21, Bausch & Lomb (Rochester, NY) announced it had entered into a licensing agreement with Faezeh Mona Sarfarazi, MD, for the development, marketing, and production of a proprietary IOL technology she invented. The IOL is a single-piece, molded silicone lens with a dual-optic design, which Bausch & Lomb believes has the potential to provide presbyopic patients with good distance vision and the ability to read without reading glasses. The company will fund research and development of the technology and make milestone-based payments to Dr. Sarfarazi, as well as pay royalties upon successful commercialization.
