It is reported that IOLMaster700 can provide high-precision biometric support for cataract surgery, refractive surgery, myopia prevention and control for children and adolescents, etc.
Zeiss's first domestically produced IOLMaster700 ophthalmic optical biometer was unveiled at the 9th China International Import Expo.
The localization of this product means that Zeiss has incorporated high-quality imported ophthalmic core equipment into the local intelligent manufacturing system to accurately match the diversified needs of domestic clinical diagnosis and treatment, myopia prevention and control, and national eye health management, and continue to empower and increase the high-quality development of China's eye health industry.
"The realization of localized production of IOLMaster700 is not only the implementation of production capacity, but also the upgrade of our localization capabilities." said Martin Fischer, President and CEO of Zeiss Greater China. "In the future, we will integrate global innovation and local experience to support domestic medical institutions to improve clinical decision-making, improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment, and help make high-quality eye health services more widely accessible."
Having been deeply involved in the Chinese market for nearly 70 years, Zeiss has built a complete localization system for high-end precision medical equipment that integrates innovative research and development, intelligent manufacturing, and comprehensive services. At the same time, Zeiss has promoted collaborative upgrading of research and development, improved local production capacity, and improved supporting services. Zhang Guoping, head of the marketing department of Zeiss China Medical Department, said: "The localization of Zeiss IOLMaster700 will strictly follow the global technology and quality system." Professor Lu Yi, chairman of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Shanghai Medical Association, hopes that local manufacturing can further improve the stability of product supply and service capabilities. He will continue to share suggestions and jointly promote technology to better meet clinical needs.
