Associate Professor Aram Saeed, an expert in healthcare technologies, has achieved a notable advancement in ocular devices by developing an innovative resin for 3D printing intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract and refractive surgeries. This groundbreaking technology, which has earned a US patent, promises to revolutionize eye care by providing unprecedented customization and precision in lens design. Saeed explains, “For the first time, we have developed a resin that can be used to print ocular devices directly.” This innovation aims to enhance patient outcomes, improve manufacturing speed, and allow for more complex lens designs. Saeed is internationally esteemed for his contributions to ocular devices and advanced therapeutics and is an active member of the AUIS Pharmacy Advisory Board.
