Ophthonix More than Doubles the Size of its Production Facility
10/30/2007
Vision-correction company upgrades to 45,000 square foot facility.
VISTA, Calif. (September 26, 2007) —Ophthonix, Inc., a San Diego County-based vision correction company, moved its headquarters effective September 17 to accommodate growth in business and operations.
The new facility is more than double the previous space at Pacific Center Court, and will house both corporate offices and a much larger manufacturing operation.
""The demand for our iZon® High Resolution Lenses has increased to the point that we have outgrown our current location,"" said Stephen Osbaldeston, chief executive officer of Ophthonix. ""The new facility will provide optimum space for an advanced, fully automated optical lab and will enable us to meet increasing customer demand for many years to come.""
Ophthonix, founded in 2000, manufactures and markets the Z-View® Aberrometer and iZon High Resolution Spectacle Lenses for superior vision assessment and correction. The difference between conventional spectacle lenses and iZon Lenses is like the difference between regular television and high-definition television.
The company's Z-View Aberrometer employs proprietary wavefront technology to quickly and consistently map a patient's eye for higher order aberrations, or irregularities, which can cause vision problems such as distortions, glare, halos and starbursts around lights.
Ophthonix's proprietary iZon Lenses are manufactured based on this map or iPrint™, which is unique to each person's eye much like a fingerprint. As a result, iZon Lenses provide patients with generally sharper vision, improved contrast acuity, improved night vision and the ability to see color with greater richness and intensity.
