Omega Ophthalmics: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Cataract surgery is the single most common procedure performed in the United States annually. Despite technological advancements in both surgical instrumentation and intraocular lens design, approximately 50% of patients are still unable to see well without glasses after surgery. Omega Ophthalmics has developed a new, proprietary lens that will increase the number of “glasses free” post-surgery patients to over 90% by reducing the variables during surgery, revolutionizing a market that has not seen positive, disruptive change in over sixty years. Since the global intraocular lens market has steadily grown and is currently projected to reach $4.3 billion by 2017, the Omega Gemini Refractive Capsule is well-positioned to become the new standard lens for cataract surgery. The Omega Gemini Refractive Capsule is an investigational device and is not approved for use in the United States.

About FundedIQ's Omega Ophthalmics Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Omega Ophthalmics is left off this page rather than filled in.
