About Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems
Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG is a medical technology company based in Port (Switzerland) focused on ophthalmology, ophthalmic surgery and microsurgical visualization systems. The portfolio includes mobile femtosecond laser systems (FEMTO Z8 NEO, FEMTO LDV Z8/Z6/Z4) with low pulse energy and high repetition rate, the solid-state wet ablation laser AQUARIUZ, and the GALILEI diagnostic devices with dual Scheimpflug tomography, Placido topography and optical biometry. The offering is complemented by the UNIQA phakic intraocular lens in diameters of 11.00 to 14.00 mm with 250-µm sizing increments, the FlowSuite planning software (SUPRA platform) as well as sterile procedure packs. In addition to device development and manufacturing, Ziemer provides technical support, remote support for FEMTO and GALILEI systems, and application training. Sales are conducted through an international distributor network as well as own locations in Germany (Ziemer Ophthalmology Deutschland GmbH, Denzlingen) and the USA (Ziemer USA, Inc., Alton, IL); a representative office exists in Shanghai.
