About us
Our mission at Adaptilens is to restore youthful vision by imitating the natural lens of the young, healthy eye. The Adaptilens accommodating intraocular lens (A-IOL) recaptures the eye's intrinsic ability to accommodate by responding to its natural signal to focus, allowing for clear vision over a range of distances without the need for glasses.

👁️🗨️ From insight to impact—what happens when the right experts are present The Collaborative Community on Ophthalmic Innovation (CCOI)'s Pediatric IOL Workshop: Bridging the Gap Between Innovation and Regulation brought together a remarkable group of leaders—both in Boston and virtually—and the result was exactly what this field needs: focused, high-value dialogue that maximized every moment together. Across clinical, regulatory, and industry perspectives, the depth of engagement and willingness to align on next steps was clear—this is how progress happens. A special thank you to American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) for their support—especially as they continue to lead their Annual Meeting this weekend in Boston. Your partnership and presence helped make this workshop possible. Momentum is building—and this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more! #PediatricOphthalmology #MedicalInnovation #RegulatoryScience #Collaboration #CCOI #AAPOS #FDA
