The KAMRA has been implanted in more than 30,000 patients, and the company has more than nine years of follow-up data on some of those patients. “We have raised $66 million in financing,” Waterhouse stated. “The reason that’s so important is that it allows us to concentrate on what’s important to us – the presbyopia and cataract markets.” The global market opportunity in presbyopia may be as much as $5 billion, with about 40% of the procedures performed in the US.
