For immediate release.<\/p>\n

Date: 16th January 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rayner continues growth in 2017 with direct presence in Portugal<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following on from their European expansion in 2016 —\u00a0direct entry into the Italian cataract market<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0direct entry into the Spanish cataract market<\/a>\u00a0— Rayner is pleased to announce its direct entry into the Portuguese cataract market.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0entire Rayner IOL<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0injector portfolio, previously available through a network of distributors, will now be available through Rayner Surgical S.L. (Portugal).<\/p>\n

General Manager James Crutchlow<\/strong>\u00a0commented: \u201cAfter the successful launch of Rayner Surgical S.L. into the Spanish cataract market, we are pleased to announce our expansion into Portugal<\/a>. This is a highly refractive market and a strong environment for the launch of Rayner\u2019s trifocal as well as the pipeline of additional premium IOL offerings planned for 2017.<\/p>\n

Based out of Porto, the new structure will include Paulo Aguiar, with over 20 years\u2019 experience in the Portuguese ophthalmology market. Reporting to Head of Iberia, Victor Sanchis, the team will oversee the transition from distributor to direct supply, bringing Rayner closer to its Portuguese customers.\u201c<\/p>\n

What does this mean for surgeons?<\/strong>
\nThe new Rayner team in Portugal will bring Portuguese\u00a0surgeons closer to the leading IOL experts, opening opportunities for exposure to the latest IOL innovations. It will also bring a level of customer service dedicated to Portugal that responds straight from the manufacturer to the surgeon.<\/p>\n

Dr. Fernando Silva, MD Ophthalmology Director of Hospital Privado de Braga, President of Braga Ophthalmology Meeting <\/strong>commented: “It\u2019s a wonderful opportunity to work directly with Rayner: the creators of the first IOL, the Sulcoflex\u00a0and [now] with an exciting new portfolio.”<\/p>\n

“We want to welcome Rayner\u2019s direct presence in Portugal. It will enhance the current market situation and provide the Ophthalmic community with a comprehensive portfolio from the creators of the first IOL,\u201d said\u00a0Dr. Pedro Meneres, MD Ophthalmology Director of Centro Hospitalar do Porto<\/strong>, also commenting on the achievement.<\/p>\n
