Katena Products, a provider of precision ophthalmic instruments, biologics, and devices to hospitals, surgical centers, and ophthalmic and optometric offices, has announced the purchase of Eagle Vision.

Founded over 30 years ago by Dr. Jerre Freeman, Eagle Vision has become a market leader in the punctal plug product category.

These plugs, along with other ancillary devices are primarily used in the treatment of Dry Eye Syndrome, by both ophthalmologists and optometrists in the U.S. and globally.

“The acquisition of the Eagle Vision product line is the second important addition to Katena’s product portfolio in 2016, as we continue to build out our product offerings in the ophthalmic and optometric call points,” said Bill Friedberg, CEO of Katena Products.

“We look forward to continuing to be of greater clinical value to our customers, with both organic growth of our existing product lines and through additional acquisitions.”

Katena is a recognized worldwide leader in specialty surgical and consumable ophthalmic and optometric products.

 Katena markets a comprehensive line of surgical instruments, biologics, medical devices and optical lenses to physician offices, hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers through their direct salesforce and to international customers in over 110 countries through an extensive distributor network.

 Katena continues to strengthen its position in these key markets through organic growth and merger and acquisition strategies.
