ZEISS Medical Technology has won approval from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for PT LUNANA, a phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) to treat myopia. The company showed the lens at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai. Wuxi Carl Zeiss Vision Pro Medical Technology, a ZEISS joint venture in China, developed the lens and will make it locally. It is the first in a planned family of ZEISS phakic lenses and comes in seven sizes. China has an estimated 600 million people with myopia. About 67.2% of those aged 15 to 19 are affected, and 9.5% have high myopia. ZEISS plans to launch the lens in China in 2027, then take it to other markets.
ZEISS Ventures has joined a £1.7 million funding round for Illumion, a University of Cambridge spin-out that builds imaging technology for battery research. Foresight Group, Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, Parkwalk, Cambridge Angels, and YourVC also took part. Illumion's charge photometry lets researchers watch individual battery particles as they charge and discharge. The company says this reveals processes inside working batteries that were previously out of reach. The money will fund commercialisation, product development, and work with researchers, battery makers, and industrial partners. That includes illumionONE, a real-time particle-level analysis system, and illumionX, a next-generation platform aimed at selected industrial uses.
Bronwyn Brophy O'Connor, currently chief executive officer of Sweden's Vitrolife Group, will become CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG on December 1, 2026. She will also join the Executive Board of Carl Zeiss AG, where she will lead the Medical Technology segment. She succeeds Andreas Pecher, who has served as interim CEO since January 1, 2026, alongside his role as chief executive of the ZEISS Group. Her appointment was first announced in May 2026. Brophy O'Connor has led Vitrolife since 2023. Her earlier roles include posts at Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Justus Wehmer will serve as chief financial officer of Carl Zeiss Meditec. The company generated revenue of €2,228 million in fiscal year 2024/25.
ZEISS Medical Technology has launched its CT LUCIA 621P monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) in Japan, adding it to the ZEISS Cataract Workflow. The company announced the move on October 22, 2026. The lens uses a proprietary asphericity concept to account for the natural misalignment between the cornea centre and the eye's optical axis. ZEISS says this supports consistent visual outcomes across a wide range of patients. It also has a reinforced optic-haptic junction and step-vaulted C-loop haptics, designed to ease centring and help keep the lens stable in the bag. ZEISS will show the lens at the 80th Annual Congress of Japan Clinical Ophthalmology in Kyoto from October 29 to November 1, 2026.
ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT) has launched two systems for advanced chip packaging: ZEISS NLX and ZEISS DUNE. The company announced them in San Francisco on October 12, 2026, as chips grow more complex. ZEISS NLX inspects the inside of chip packages without damaging them. It helps manufacturers spot defects in connections between stacked dies early, and it handles 300-millimetre wafers in both process development and high-volume production. ZEISS DUNE measures the topography of a wafer and corrects wafer bow individually. This helps avoid yield losses in downstream processing and prepares bonding processes. ZEISS SMT is showing the systems at SEMICON West, alongside its photomask tools. The company is also marking 100 years of business in the US in 2026.
