Insight<br />
People are living longer than ever before. At the same time demand for<br />
better medical treatment, easier access to healthcare, and improved<br />
quality of life is growing.<br />
Cataracts are an inevitable part of the ageing process and are the world’s leading<br />
cause of preventable blindness. Medicel’s products are used by eye surgeons across<br />
the world to treat this condition and give patients their sight back.<br />
Opportunity<br />
Medicel’s technology allows a surgeon to insert artificial lenses through<br />
very small incisions in the patient’s eye, speeding up recovery time and<br />
improving post-operative outcomes.<br />
<strong>Halma</strong>’s wealth of medical and ophthalmic market knowledge,<br />
experience and global support is helping to drive the spread of this<br />
life-improving equipment faster and farther than ever before.<br />
Value<br />
Medicel’s growth has been exceptional, with access to new geographic markets<br />
and the support of other ophthalmic companies in <strong>Halma</strong>’s Medical sector.<br />
Its success has encouraged further investment in the ophthalmic surgery market<br />
with the acquisition of Accutome and MST in 2012.
