Ilasis

Our mission to support your ambitions

EXCELLENCE
FOR ALL.

Empower all surgeons to achieve excellence in their eye surgery practice through optimal and accessible cataract technology.
Eye surgery is one of the most demanding and selective (for example, only 100,000 surgeons in the world are capable of performing cataract surgery using the traditional method), while at the same time being one of the most necessary (cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world). Faced with this paradox, we chose to act: Helix, the first femtolaser to perform a perfect capsulotomy for cataract surgery, offering a faster learning curve and at an attractive cost.

Frugality

Innovating better with less is for us the guarantee of the highest standards.
We focus on the essentials, on what has real added value without ever compromising performance. Thus, we optimize the surgical gesture, while offering lower costs and a much faster learning curve.

Team spirit

By working hand in hand with surgeons and our partners, we are able to respond effectively to the challenges of ophthalmology and anticipate them with creativity and boldness.

Performance

We do what we do because we are convinced that human talent deserves to be encouraged, guided and amplified. Through our innovations, we put surgeons back at the center of operations and empower them to achieve excellence.

Leadership
