\u201cThis is a landmark moment for Visionix and for the eye care industry in the United States,\u201d Marc Abitbol,<\/b> CEO of Visionix, told Healio. \u201cBy joining forces with Revenio Group, we gain access to a broader portfolio of world-class diagnostic technologies, greater scale and the resources needed to better serve our customers \u2014 from independent optometrists and optical retail chains to hospital-based ophthalmology practices. The combination accelerates our ability to deliver the comprehensive, connected care solutions that eye care professionals across the country are increasingly demanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the Optovue family of OCT imaging devices, Visionix makes various devices for clinical screening, refractive assessment, fundus photography, lens finishing and more.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether with Visionix, we position ourselves as a leading turnkey solutions provider for a wide range of eye care needs,\u201d Jouni Toijala,<\/b> CEO of Revenio, said in the release. \u201cFrom Revenio\u2019s point of view, we accelerate our entry into the OCT segment, representing an important step in fulfilling our goal to improve the quality of ophthalmic diagnostics through innovative products and software solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the release, Abitbol said the deal is \u201can opportunity to take Visionix to another level with a partner whose technology, product portfolio, leadership and values are deeply complementary to our own.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the process, I was impressed by the natural adhesion of both teams to this vision, which gives me great confidence in the human and entrepreneurial potential of the combined group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
