Rayner: Pioneering the Best Visual Outcomes

For maximum surgeon benefit, the company goes the extra mile and offers Eye Science, a robust clinical and training program

While their product Emustil is used as a therapy for associated symptoms of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), another proven eye drop, Ilube acts as an artificial tear.

Advancing Visual Simulation

Behind Rayner’s state-of-the-art offerings is CEO, Tim Clover, an industry veteran with three decades of experience in the international medical industry who brings extensive knowledge of medical devices, ophthalmic services, and strategic investment to Rayner. “We are committed to supporting ophthalmologists in attaining the best outcomes for their patients,” remarks Clover. To maintain continued safety and efficacy of their products, the company has a separate department called Vigilance, which is the point of contact to report any product deficiency related to the identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety, or performance of a medical device that has been placed on the market.

To always stay at the leading edge of IOL and associated surgical instruments production, the company houses a dedicated Research and Development (R&D) wing that develops innovative new products and next-gen automated manufacturing equipment. The R&D team possesses in-depth knowledge and technical expertise in the fields of advanced optics, materials, and injector design. At the heart of all their design initiatives, Rayner follows a strong customer-centric approach and adopts a cross-departmental project management culture, to deliver nothing but the best in the ophthalmic market.

All of Rayner’s products are built in line with compliance standards and commitment to quality is every employee’s top priority. As a long-established business with their factory and products inspected and certified by BSI and approved by the US FDA, Rayner routinely engages with key suppliers to pre-empt any potential supply issues.

In order to give shape to their vision, Rayner actively builds a strong network with leading universities, research organizations, surgeons, and suppliers, and engages in mutually-beneficial partnerships to further the development of life-changing ophthalmic technologies. As an example, the company partnered with Phoenix, a mid-market private equity firm and in response, Clover commented, “This has led to an exciting new product pipeline placing Rayner at the forefront of innovation in ophthalmology. Our partnership with Phoenix gives us the support and resources to develop and launch these technologies, contributing to the improvements in visual outcomes for surgeons and patients worldwide.”

For maximum surgeon benefit, the company goes the extra mile and offers Eye Science, a robust clinical and training program. The Eye Science team at Rayner has over 15 years of experience in ophthalmology and clinical research management and is based in the UK and Germany. The team’s primary motive is to improve patient care through programs that support scientific advances. From supporting surgeons in clinical studies to being the primary contact for all clinical study and technical research, Eye Science is a compelling body when it comes to clinical evidence.

Altering Perception

With a strong legacy to fall back on and an unstoppable drive to excel in ophthalmic services, Rayner’s core focus is to provide the best visual outcomes for clinicians and patients. The company is a strong proponent of IMPACT, which is an international program to prevent and alleviate needless disability. Rayner regularly contributes premium quality monofocal lenses, free of cost, to IMPACT to improve patients’ quality of life and support independent, sustainable living.

Currently, the company is undergoing a sizeable evolution as the business continues to expand across the UK and globally. Another exciting offer which is expected to be launched soon is RayPRO, a free desktop and mobile application, built specifically for ophthalmic surgeons who perform cataract surgery. The solution supports the collection, analysis, and reporting of patient outcomes after cataract surgery and presents easy-to-understand reports in real-time via the intuitive RayPRO dashboard that can be accessed anywhere, anytime. “For Rayner, this is a critical product. We are pressing forward proactive, safety and efficacy data ideally on every IOL that we sell, as it becomes mandated by the new European medical device regulations that we fully support,” ends Clover.
