(PRESS RELEASE) JENA, DE & MEXICO CITY, MX — ZEISS Medical Technology announced that Mexico’s Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitários (COFEPRIS) approved the ARTEVO 850 ophthalmic microscope from ZEISS and the MICOR 700 from ZEISS. Both technologies offer full compatibility with the latest generation of ZEISS’s cataract workflow. The ZEISS ARTEVO 850 and the ZEISS MICOR 700 will be showcased as part of ZEISS’s ophthalmic workflows in the ZEISS booth #A1 at the XXXVIII Mexican Congress of Ophthalmology (SMO) in Monterrey, Mexico, from May 30 – June 3, 2026.
“ZEISS continues to expand its portfolio around the world, this time adding new surgical solutions in Mexico. We’re investing in regional markets to empower local surgeons with the latest in visual and O.R. enhancements, helping surgeons provide their patients with the best eye care possible,” says PT Cheong, Head of Global Sales for Ophthalmology, ZEISS Medical Technology.
“The ZEISS MICOR 700 and ZEISS ARTEVO 850 are true game changers in cataract surgery, elevating visualization and the workflow in the operating room. The introduction of these solutions into the Mexican market helps enable surgeons to operate with convenient control and efficiency,” says Frank Seitzinger, Head of Business Sector Surgery Anterior Segment, ZEISS Medical Technology.
The ZEISS ARTEVO 850 3D heads-up ophthalmic microscope sets the pace in digital visualization with true color imaging and increased depth of field by nearly 60 percent.1 The surgical microscope also offers functional integration of devices and visualization technology to streamline clinical procedures. Digital integration into the ZEISS Ophthalmic Workflows allows for seamless data transfer. Additionally, the ZEISS ARTEVO 850 with CALLISTO eye features a redesigned intuitive user interface that centralizes all controls on a single touchscreen.
The MICOR 700 from ZEISS reinvents lens extraction with the first hand-held lens removal device with ultrasound-free operation, using the ZEISS NULEX (non-ultrasonic lens extraction) procedure to help surgeons broaden their intraocular working space, minimizing risk to surrounding eye structures and increasing operating room efficiency. The tip of the ZEISS MICOR 700 is designed to be gentle with the surrounding tissue. Its blunt tip design with rounded edges is designed to minimize the risk of tissue damage. ZEISS MICOR 700 also features a disposable “plug-and-play” system ensuring convenience, efficiency, and a minimal O.R. footprint.
