ASICO was established in 1983 by Ravi Nallakrishnan in Chicago, Illinois. ASICO has been primarily focused on collaborating with leading KOLs to create innovative surgical instruments that drove the ophthalmic market by helping surgeons improve their surgical techniques, and efficiencies to enhance surgical outcomes for their patients. Examples of such innovations include developing the world’s first nucleus chopper with Dr. Nagahara and prechopper with Dr. Akahoshi, both of which have become gold standards in the industry. Through the ASICO brand, we continue to partner closely with key surgeons around the globe to be at the forefront of innovation.
