HONG KONG, Feb 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (“Carl Zeiss”) is proud to honor EuroEyes International Eye Clinic Limited (“EuroEyes International” or the “Company”) for achieving the prestigious title of the most AT LISA® trifocal lens Implantations worldwide for nine consecutive years. This recognition underscores EuroEyes International's significant contributions to the field of ophthalmology and highlights its leadership in innovative eye care solutions.At a ceremony held in Hong Kong today, Carl Zeiss acknowledged EuroEyes International's remarkable milestone of successfully completed more than a million procedures in the past 32 years, the most of its kind in the world. The milestone achievement not only stands as proof of EuroEyes International's commitment to excellence in innovative and patient-centered eye care, but also highlights its crucial role in advancing vision correction through implantation of trifocal lenses and setting new standards in ophthalmic practices.“We are proud to receive this recognition, which speaks clearly to our determination to achieve excellence in ophthalmology. Our dedicated team has worked diligently to help patients restore their vision with state-on-the-art technologies and in turn enhance their quality of life,” said Dr. Jørn S. Jørgensen, CEO of EuroEyes International.“Congratulations to EuroEyes International for making such an extraordinary achievement nine years in a row, which is an inspiration for all of us in the field worldwide to push for advancements in eye care technology and practices. Together with EuroEyes International, we look forward to reaching new heights and making yet greater success in the near future,” said Mr. Magnus Reibenspiess, Head of Strategic Business Unit Ophthalmology, President ZEISS Ophthalmology.Dr. Jørn S. Jørgensen added, “We have seen a rising trend of presbyopia in mainland China, Hong Kong, and globally. The company believes its trifocal lens implantation is currently one of the best solutions for correcting this condition in patients and effectively addressing relevant growing market demand.”According to its 2024 interim results, EuroEyes International recorded record high revenue of HK$198.8 million, up 12.0% year-on-year, from performing mostly trifocal lens implantation surgeries in the Period, and revenue from this category had been growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 21% between 2020 and 2024, driven by the aging population in various countries where the Group operates.Trifocal Lens implantation: An Opportunity-Rich Market to SeizeThe “2023 National Aging Development Bulletin” released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Aging Office in China, reveals that as of 2023, China's elderly population aged 60 and above has surged to 296.97 million, accounting for 21.1% of the total populace — an increase from 14.9% in 2013. Similarly, Hong Kong boasts the highest life expectancy in the world, pointing to a rapidly aging population in the city. According to the 2021 Population Census conducted by the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD), the proportion of elderly individuals aged 65 and above had increased from 13% of the total population in 2011 to 20% in 2021, and was projected to reach 22.8% by mid-2024. Additionally, the median age of the population had increased from 41.7 in 2011 to 46.3 in 2021, also reflective of the continuing aging trend.Alongside the aging global population is the climbing cases of presbyopia, a natural aging process that affects nearly every individual over 40, and correspondingly the demand for effective correction solutions. As trifocal lens, an artificial lens designed to provide sharp vision at all distances while retaining its refractive properties over time, can ensure consistent vision as patients age, trifocal lens implantation surgery has emerged as one of the best solutions for managing presbyopia and other vision-related issues.EuroEyes International, renowned for its market leadership in trifocal lens implantation surgery, is well-positioned to capture this global trend, and so is Carl Zeiss, a leading optical company committed to manufacturing trifocal lenses in growing demand. The company believes the trifocal lens implantation market has vast potential waiting to be tapped, set to power the company’s future growth.

SINGAPORE, Feb 20, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Self-care has traditionally taken a backseat in our fast-paced world, yet its importance cannot be overstated. Rather than viewing external relationships as the ultimate source of fulfilment, many are prioritising personal well-being and self-care. This shift has redefined how individuals approach health, empowerment, and overall quality of life.Despite its proven benefits—reducing stress, boosting self-esteem, and strengthening our connections with others—self-care is often neglected. A recent study found that only a third of people practice self-care daily, highlighting the need to prioritise habits that nourish the mind and body.LAC emphasises the importance of self-care, encouraging individuals from all walks of life to nurture their well-being and invest in their health.To support this journey of self-care, LAC (pronounced L-A-C) has thoughtfully curated a selection of wellness essentials designed to help individuals juggling packed schedules feel their best, inside and out.LAC Hair Protect™ - Hair Growth Formula FullCal® - Highly Assimilable Calcium Citrate Formula, and Joint Protec® Flex - UC-II® Collagen + CurQlife Plus® TurmericFrom maintaining strong bones and joints to nourishing hair health, these supplements help individuals to maintain vitality and mobility, ensuring you stay vibrant, full of life, and ready to embrace self-love this season.Hair health is closely tied to overall well-being, and factors like stress, poor circulation, and nutrient deficiencies can contribute to hair thinning and loss. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), LAC Activated® Hair Protect™ combines nine natural herbs, including He Shou Wu, to support scalp health, strengthen hair follicles, and promote natural growth.By nourishing the liver and kidneys—key organs in TCM for maintaining healthy blood circulation—this vegetarian and halal-certified formula helps improve hair strength, thickness, and shine while reducing hair loss. Ideal for those experiencing stress, frequent hair treatments, or premature greying, LAC Activated® Hair Protect™ supports a fuller, healthier head of hair.As simple as it sounds, prolonged day-to-day activities, alongside growing age, often brings joint issues such as the synovial fluid and calcium depletion within the bones and joints. The combination of both LAC FullCal® - Highly Assimilable Calcium Citrate and Formula Joint Protec® Flex - UC-II® Collagen + CurQlife Plus® Turmeric provides the necessary nutrients for stronger bones and joint health.Formulated with LAC’s proprietary blend, individuals will no longer need to consume separate combinations of supplements to achieve similar results, bringing much convenience and cost-effectiveness at the same time.By prioritising self-care, individuals can cultivate health, confidence, and overall well-being, making them better equipped to navigate life’s demands. LAC encourages everyone to take a step back, recharge, and invest in their health, because true well-being starts from within. Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
