TORONTO, Feb. 26, 2019 /CNW/ - Eyecarrot Innovations Corp
(Eyecarrot) (TSX-V: EYC | OTCQB: EYCCF) is pleased to
announce it has secured a distribution deal
with Europe's leading vision rehabilitation distribution
organization VISUS ® Contactlinsen GmbH (VISUS). Initial trial
units were tested in late 2018 and the first shipment of up to
100 units will be delivered within 60 days, with
the focus on the German and
Spanish market segments. Eyecarrot's Binovi
Touch Saccadic Fixator is now available through VISUS and
will be showcased at the upcoming SIODEC conference in Granada, Spain. This partnership will
help the company replace the existing 5000 analog units currently
in use with vision rehabilitation practices, professional and
amateur sporting organizations, rehabilitation hospitals and
training centers across the globe.
"We are excited to secure a partnership with this leading
ophthalmic distributor for the Binovi Touch Saccadic
Fixator. Our initial market feedback has been outstanding, and
we have implemented language translations with our software to
cater to a very strong market for us in Europe. A partnership
with VISUS will provide us with distribution and strong local
sales presence in Europe.".
Commented CEO Adam Cegielski.
About VISUS ®
VISUS ® was founded in 1977 as "VISUS ® Contactlinsen GmbH" by
Peter Fanti in Hamburg. As a pilot project and first contact
lens institute, special lenses were adapted. Located for the first
time in the Rotebaumchausee, the institute moved to the
Jungfernstieg in a prime city location. About 10 years later,
Peter Fanti founded the branch
office in Stuttgart, also as a
contact lens institute. After a few years, they recognized VISUS ®
the new possibilities of an optometric vision test. As a result of
this step, VISUS® has already made a name for itself among the
pioneers of optometry for exclusive eye test products. At the same
time VISUS also discovered the possibilities of visual training on
European further education. Since then, VISUS ® has been the market
leader in the Visual Training material segment, also known as
"Vision Therapy".
