Rayner designs and manufactures intraocular lenses and proprietary injection devices for use in cataract surgery. When Sir Harold Ridley designed the world’s first IOL in 1949, he chose Rayner to manufacture this ground-breaking invention. With more than 65 years of continuous growth and experience, we remain at the forefront of innovation. We are focused on providing the best IOLs for clinicians and patients and are driven by science to improve patient outcomes and safety. Primary IOLs Our FDA-approved C-flex aspheric (aberration-neutral) monofocal IOL, as well as our toric and multifocal IOL families are now complemented by the RayOne fully preloaded monofocal IOL injection system. Supplementary IOLs Designed to be implanted in the ciliary sulcus, Rayner Sulcoflex Pseudophakic Supplementary IOLs are available as aspheric, toric, multifocal and multifocal lenses, and offer a reversible solution for correcting residual post-operative refractive errors following the implantation of a conventional IOL in the capsular bag. OVDs Our Ophteis range offers a full spectrum of OVDs from dispersive to cohesive, enabling surgeons to select the OVD best suited to each specific cataract procedure. Ophteis FR Pro with sorbitol -- designed to deliver a new level of corneal endothelial protection from phaco induced trauma -- is the flagship product of Rayner’s ‘Ophteis’ OVD suite. Pharmaceuticals Although the intraocular lens plays a leading role in the visual outcomes of cataract and refractive surgery, the pharmaceuticals that manage the tear film and inflammation are critical to the end result. For that reason, Rayner recently acquired the business of Moorfields Pharmaceuticals. The acquisition will enable us to offer an even wider range of ophthalmic tools that aid and streamline the surgical process whilst remaining focused on the visual outcome for the patient. Rayner markets its IOL portfolio and related products worldwide through a network of distributors in over 80 countries with direct markets in UK, Germany & Austria, the United States of America, Italy and Spain. We have the world’s longest commercial history of IOL design and manufacturing and have worked with cataract surgeons for longer than anyone else. In 2016, Rayner transferred its global headquarters to a brand new state of the art manufacturing plant, which has dramatically increased the company’s production capacity.

Jimmy Choo is a 21st century luxury accessories brand, with shoes at its heart, offering an empowered sense of glamour and a playfully daring spirit. The brand traces its roots to a bespoke shoemaker named Jimmy Choo, based in the East End of London in the early 1990s, who catered to the global jet set, including Princess Diana. The Jimmy Choo company was founded in 1996, with Mr Choo’s niece, Sandra Choi, who had been heading up design in the East End atelier, coming on board as Creative Director, a position she holds to this day. Mr Choo departed the company in 2001. The sexy cut, fashionable design, and exceptional Italian craftsmanship struck a chord with a sophisticated clientele, and the first collection enjoyed immediate success. With a goal of creating a global luxury business, Jimmy Choo attracted outside investment and the company embarked on a significant expansion across product categories, channels and geographies. A pioneer in the art of celebrity dressing, Jimmy Choo was among the first to bring shoes and handbags to Hollywood where the red carpet proved to be the ideal runway for the brand. Today, Jimmy Choo can be seen on style icons from celebrities to royalty, musicians to heads of state. The brand’s reputation as a celebrity favourite helped to fuel its rapid expansion. Its iconography was further defined by the bold and dramatic advertising portraying glamorous but strong women in towering heels and luxurious handbags, captured by photographers such as Mario Testino, Inez and Vinoodh, Peter Lindbergh and Steven Meisel and Terry Richardson. Retail development has been integral to the company’s strategy. The first Jimmy Choo store was opened in 1996 on Motcomb Street in London, complementing a distribution in some of the most prestigious multi-brand stores in the world. Two years later, the company expanded to the US, opening two stores in New York City and Beverly Hills. International expansion continued with Jimmy Choo securing locations in the premiere luxury shopping destinations of the world’s most prestigious cities including Sloane Street and Bond Street in London, Avenue Montaigne in Paris, Via Condotti in Rome, Madison Avenue in New York, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, and Ginza in Tokyo. Today, Jimmy Choo encompasses a complete luxury accessories brand. Women’s shoes remain the core of the product offer, alongside handbags, small leather goods, scarves, sunglasses, eyewear, belts, fragrance and men’s shoes. Pierre Denis was appointed Chief Executive Officer in July 2012 and the creative direction is overseen by Sandra Choi. Together, they share a vision to create one of the world’s most treasured luxury brands. Jimmy Choo has a store network encompassing 167 stores in 35 countries and is present in the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide. In October 2014 Jimmy Choo PLC was publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange with the ticker CHOO.
