Calgary, Canada – TheNewswire - April 20, 2026 - Ocumetics Technology Corp. (TSV:V OTC |OTCQB: OTCFF |FRA: 2QBO) (“Ocumetics” or the “Company”), a leader in next generation vision technology, is pleased to announce highly encouraging six-month postoperative results from the first group of patients in its first-in-human (FIH) clinical study of the Ocumetics Accommodating Intraocular Lens (“Ocumetics Lens”). 

 

Six months after surgery, patients who received the Ocumetics Lens have achieved clinical outcomes that meet and exceed the Company’s expectations. Group One patients entered the study with very poor vision, including one individual considered to be legally blind. At six months post-surgery, patients continue to demonstrate improved vision and stable visual acuity, alongside a strong safety profile. Patients have also experienced real world transformation in their daily lives.

 

“After six months, what stands out most is not just the clinical performance of the Ocumetics Lens, but the profound impact on patients’ quality of life,” said Dean Burns, President and CEO of Ocumetics. “Patients who entered this study with severely impaired vision are now reading, driving, and living independently again. We’re developing a technology that dramatically improves people’s quality of life and we couldn’t be happier.”

 

Ocumetics continues to leverage surgeon feedback and patient experience into ongoing product enhancements. Updated lens refinements are currently in manufacturing and testing, supporting the planned initiation of Group Two surgeries.

 

“The measurable improvements in visual acuity and consistency we are seeing at six months give us tremendous confidence as we advance to the next phase of our clinical program,” added Burns. “We are not only validating our technology, we are demonstrating its real-world impact. Our focus now is to build on this success, further optimize performance, and bring this life changing solution to more patients.”

 

Ocumetics looks forward to initiating Group Two surgeries following completion of lens testing, as the Company continues to advance its mission of transforming vision correction through innovation.
