Sunrise Technologies - SNRS- Profile

Sunrise Technologies International Inc.. The Group's principal activity is to develop, manufacture and market laser systems for applications in ophthalmology. The main focus is on the development and production of its holmium laser corneal shaping product or process known as Laser Thermal Keratoplasty. The Hyperion (TM) LTK System alters the shape of the cornea to correct refractive disorders such as hyperopia (farsightedness) and presbyopia (age-related loss of near focusing ability) without removing corneal tissue. The procedure employs a laser to shrink, selectively, the collagen in the cornea, changing the curvature of the cornea and thereby changing the refractive power of the eye. The Hyperion LTK System incorporates a holmium laser system into a delivery system that is built into a custom optics to perform the LTK procedure. Medical Laser systems accounted for 84% of 2000 revenues; Enablement fees, 10% and Service and other, 6%.
