Calhoun Vision announced it raised $69 million in financing, according to a press release.

The financing will support the Light Adjustable Lens, which allows power correction by the physician after cataract surgery. The proceeds will assist with the FDA pre-market process and the company’s marketing strategy, the release said.

Longitude Capital led the financing round with co-investors H.I.G. BioVentures, Balance Point Capital Partners and RA Capital Management. The round raised $52 million in new financing as well as $17 million in debt conversion.

“With this financing, we will strengthen our team, support the company through the FDA submission process, advance our product pipeline and execute our commercial strategy,” Rick Heinick, president and CEO of Calhoun Vision, said in the release.
