Corza Medical Opens Ophthalmology Center of Technology and Innovation

Corza Medical announced the opening of its new Ophthalmology Center of Technology and Innovation in St. Louis. The state-of-the-art facility is aimed at advancing the development of next-generation devices for ophthalmic surgeries and other eye treatments. With an approximate footprint of 30,000 square feet, the new center is designed to facilitate rapid prototyping of new product designs, enhance manufacturing capabilities, and expand research and development capabilities.

"This new center will allow us to work closely with surgeons and other customers to better understand their needs and develop innovative solutions that address their specific challenges," Gregory T. Lucier, Executive Chairman at Corza Medical, said in a news release.

Over the next 3 years, the center is expected to create 80 new jobs, including roles in manufacturing, R&D, and various technical and support positions. The onsite meeting facilities will also facilitate collaboration between surgeons and other customers with Corza experts to share insights and ideas.

“I've been working with the ophthalmology team at Corza Medical for the last several years, having a front-row seat to seeing them innovate beyond their core Katena instrumentation into surgical lenses like the SensorTek hands-free gonio lens line and beyond. I'm so pleased and excited to see them expand their manufacturing and technology footprint in St. Louis by opening this new center of technology and innovation, and I see it as a reflection of their commitment to ophthalmology and continued investment in the St. Louis community," said Arsham Sheybani, MD.
