Ballerup, Denmark and Redwood City, CA, USA – February 3, 2025 – Norlase, a global leader in ophthalmic laser technology, has been honored with the prestigious PRISM Award in the Biomedical category for its latest innovation, LYNX™. This marks Norlase’s second PRISM Award win, following the success of LION®, further cementing the company’s reputation for pioneering advancements in retinal laser treatment.
LYNX is the world’s first pattern laser indirect ophthalmoscope (LIO), redefining efficiency, accessibility, and portability in retinal laser therapy. This groundbreaking device integrates advanced laser and pattern-scanning technology into a lightweight, wearable headset, eliminating the need for bulky external laser sources and complex setups.
