OCUMETICS ANNOUNCES SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT ADVANCING CLINICAL AND REGULATORY STRATEGY

Ocumetics Technology Corp. has formed a scientific advisory committee (SAC) to support the company's advancing clinical, regulatory and commercialization strategy as it progresses toward late-stage development.

The SAC will provide independent, multidisciplinary expertise across clinical trial design, regulatory strategy, surgical application, lens science and translational research, ensuring strong clinical governance and informed decision making as Ocumetics prepares for pivotal clinical studies and future U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) engagement. The SAC will include Dr. Ron Krueger, MD, MSE, a globally recognized ophthalmologist, surgeon, and innovator in refractive and cataract surgery.

Dr. Krueger brings decades of leadership in clinical research, surgical innovation and technology translation, including extensive experience guiding ophthalmic devices through advanced clinical development. Dr. Krueger is the McGraw professor and chairman of ophthalmology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He was previously on staff at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and a senior staff surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute. He is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to laser vision correction, cataract surgery and presbyopia treatment, and has written more than 300 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters and scientific presentations. Dr. Krueger has served as a principal investigator in numerous clinical trials, and has advised multiple ophthalmic device companies on clinical development, regulatory strategy and surgical adoption.

"Dr. Krueger's scientific rigour, clinical insight and experience translating innovation into clinical practice make him an ideal addition to our scientific advisory committee," said Dean Burns, president and chief executive officer of Ocumetics. "As we enter a more complex phase of development, this committee structure ensures we are drawing from the best collective expertise to guide our clinical execution and regulatory strategy."

The scientific advisory committee will function as a strategic advisory body, providing guidance on:

  • Clinical trial design and endpoint optimization;
  • First-in-human and pivotal study execution;
  • Regulatory strategy and FDA engagement;
  • Surgical usability and adoption considerations;
  • Risk assessment and clinical governance;
  • Commercialization readiness and physician education.

Additional members of the SAC will be announced in the coming months. Ocumetics remains focused on advancing its accommodating intraocular lens technology through clinical validation and regulatory milestones, with the goal of delivering innovative vision solutions to patients worldwide.
