News in ophthalmology : University of Colorado, Mile High Ophthalmics enter licensing agreement for capsulorrhexis device

The University of Colorado and Mile High Ophthalmics have entered into a licensing agreement for the Verus capsulorrhexis device, according to a press release from the University of Colorado.

The Verus is a ring-shaped device that enables the surgeon to complete a round and centered opening in the capsule during cataract surgery, the release said.

“We are launching our first device, the Verus capsulorrhexis device, in February 2015 with the hopes of improving the visual outcomes of cataract surgery patients by optimizing the capsulotomy part of the procedure and pricing the device in such a way that all patients and surgeons have access to it,” James Dennewill, CEO of Mile High Ophthalmics, said in the release.
