The end-to-end integration that this acquisition enables us to complete, truly differentiates Binovi from its competition in a market that is anticipated to show spectacular growth. We know that one in four people struggle with visual issues beyond acuity that impact their lives. The ability to assess young children and offer school boards the tools to address reading issues will have an enormous impact on the lives of many. This is a global and noble pursuit with great commercial applicability, and we are proud to be the leader in this field.” — Adam Cegielski, CEO
