Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - August 5, 2025 - Ocumetics Technology Corp. (“Ocumetics” or the “Company”) (TSXV: OTC) (OTCQB: OTCFF) (FRA: 2QBO), a leader in advanced ophthalmic technology, is pleased to announce the commencement of patient recruitment for its highly anticipated first-in-human (“FIH”) study of the Ocumetics accommodating intraocular lens (the “Ocumetics Lens”).  Patient recruitment is expected to be completed in approximately 7days.

“We are thrilled to begin recruiting patients for this historic study at our clinical partner site in Mexico City,” said Dean Burns, President and CEO of Ocumetics.  “Our first-in-human clinical study will primarily assess the safety of the Ocumetics Lens and secondarily evaluate surgical technique, distance acuity and any accommodative effects. This is another significant step toward our goal of restoring clear distance and near vision without glasses after cataract surgery.”

Unlike traditional monofocal and multifocal intraocular lenses, the Ocumetics Lens is engineered to change its power in response to the brain’s attempt to visualize items in our environment at any distance.

Implantations will begin after patient recruitment, final site inspection, and surgeon training are completed.  Results of the FIH clinical study will be instrumental in obtaining regulatory approval of larger, future studies and bringing the Ocumetics Lens to the market.

Ocumetics invites investors, partners, and the medical community to follow its progress as this landmark study unfolds.
