PHAKOS since its founding

Founded in 1993 by Olivier Aumaitre and based in Montreuil, PHAKOS initially grew by distributing high-performance devices designed for ophthalmic surgery.
The company then expanded its expertise into manufacturing, with a clear goal: to provide practitioners with reliable, innovative products tailored to the demands of their specialty.

At PHAKOS, product development and manufacturing are driven by a constant search for innovative medical materials for use in ophthalmic surgery.

Our goal is to improve the effectiveness of surgical instruments and to support the evolution of microsurgery, a field that is constantly advancing, driven by major technical breakthroughs.

Special attention is paid to quality at every stage: development, manufacturing, packaging, and sterilization.
Both our distribution and manufacturing partners are carefully selected and meet the applicable quality standards in their respective fields.
