January 14 2018, Orsay, France and Seoul, South Korea. Imagine Eyes® announces a new business partnership with Aracare™. Both companies signed an agreement that appoints Aracare as the exclusive distributor of Imagine Eyes’ rtx1-e Adaptive Optics Retinal Camera in South Korea.
“At Ara
care, we have been receiving demands from multiple Korean doctors for Imagine Eyes’ cellular-resolution retinal imaging technology. Today I am thrilled to team with Imagine Eyes in order to meet these needs.” said Aracare’s President & CEO Mr. Dug Young Suh. “In addition to their high expertise in ophthalmology, Aracare supports clinical research and cultivates strong connections with major opinion leaders in ophthalmology.” said Imagine Eyes’ CEO Mr. Nicolas Chateau. “After establishing distributorship in Japan, this new partnership in Korea is a superb opportunity to further deploy our products in Asia.”

The company identifies providers of the most advanced medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and health services in the world, and introduces their products in Korea.
