DEVOTED TO INNOVATION

Advance Medical was founded in 1986 by Renato Liffredo with the scope of developing designs and manufacturing processes for intra-ocular lenses. In 1991 Advance Medical financed and developed Biotech, which soon became a major player in the IOL business. In 1994 Advance Medical changed its core business to software development for the contact lens industry. Since 1996 FocalPoints has become the preferred software solution in the CL industry with a worldwide clientele.
