Laboratoires Thea acquires Mydriasert ophthalmic insert from Carl Zeiss Meditec
Clermont-Ferrand, France-based Laboratoires Thea, a leading independent ophthalmic group in Europe, says it has completed its innovative product range with the acquisition of Mydriasert, the first mydriatic ophthalmic insert, from Carl Zeiss Meditec. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Mydriasert is indicated for dilated fundus examination (DFE) or cataract surgery, the most widely implemented surgical procedure. Regarding cataract surgery, the market represents close to 300 000 procedures in the UK and Ireland and 3 million in Europe each year.
"This acquisition represents a significant addition to our product range and is completely in line with our strategy to become a leading provider of ophthalmic products. Our goal is to meet the needs of ophthalmologists in all major therapeutic classes so that we can be their daily partners, whatever their type of practice, and notably in ocular surgery," according to Laboratoires Thea chief operating officer Jean-Frederic Chibret.
