Rayner Expands IOL Manufacturing Capacity to Meet Growing Demand

Rayner has completed a major expansion of its production facility in Worthing, UK, doubling its annual IOL manufacturing capacity to 4 million units, the company announced. 

Since opening its manufacturing plant in 2017, Rayner has produced every IOL in Worthing, including over 6 million RayOne fully preloaded systems. The RayOne family includes the EMV lens platform and the newly introduced Galaxy and Galaxy Toric lenses.

“We are thrilled to have completed our latest factory expansion. This development enables us to uphold our rigorous quality control standards as we continue to grow—including four meticulous inspections of every single IOL," Tom Heron, Head of Manufacturing at Rayner, said in a company news release. "Combined with the opening of our new global warehouse near Gatwick Airport in 2024, this expansion reinforces our commitment to an uninterrupted supply for customers worldwide.”

“Our teams have worked incredibly hard to bring this ambitious expansion to life, which included the installation of an additional autoclave, automation, and investment in new energy-efficient equipment," said David Forsythe, Rayner’s Chief Operating Officer.
