Rayner, the United Kingdom’s only manufacturer of intraocular lenses (IOLs), has been honoured with the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise 2025 for its innovative RayOne EMV increased range of focus IOL.
RayOne EMV, which launched in 2020, was developed in collaboration with Professor Graham Barrett and uniquely extends a patient’s range of vision with a patented non-diffractive optic profile that utilises controlled positive spherical aberration. The IOL provides:
- Up to 1.5 D increased range of focus with an emmetropic target.1,4,6
- Monofocal levels of contrast sensitivity1, dysphotopsia2,5 and high levels of patient satisfaction.3
- A smoother transition between distance and near eyes with used in an Enhanced Monovision set-up.2,4
Over 400,000 RayOne EMV platform IOLs have now been shipped to more than 65 countries around the world and further growth is anticipated with the recent approval of RayOne EMV by the Chinese NMPA, and the expected launch of RayOne EMV Toric in the United States later this year.
High Impact Award
RayOne EMV was honoured with The King’s Award for Enterprise 2025 in the Innovation category, in recognition of the impact the unique lens design has on the quality of patients’ lives.
On winning the award, Professor Graham Barrett said the IOL “was the culmination of years of work, so I am truly honoured to see this innovation recognised with The King’s Award for Enterprise. I look forward to many more patients benefiting from RayOne EMV’s unique optical technology over the coming years.”
Tim Clover, Rayner CEO echoed the sentiment saying, “Surgeons and patients place immense trust in us to deliver life-enhancing visual outcomes – and this award is a powerful recognition of that. It reflects the real-world impact of our technology, the trust placed in RayOne EMV, and the commitment of our teams.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country. Rayner was one of 197 organisations nationally to be recognised with a King’s Award for Enterprise this year. In 2020, the company received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for the RayOne injector.
