LAKE FOREST, Calif. — CooperVision Surgical signed an agreement to be the exclusive distributor for Gebauer Medizintechnik’s epi-LASIK products, the company announced in a press release. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The EpiVision system brings “accuracy and control” to surgeons performing epi-LASIK, according to the release. The system “precisely and safely separates the epithelium from the next layer of corneal tissue, Bowman’s membrane,” the release states. Eliminating the cutting of the stromal flap helps eliminate the most common cause of LASIK complications, the release said.

CooperVision Surgical currently distributes the AlphaCor, an artificial cornea, and the AlphaSphere, a soft orbital implant. CooperVision Surgical is a division of CooperVision, a manufacturer and marketer of contact lenses and ophthalmic surgical products.
