The executive office is composed of:
SwissLens has numerical lathe with nano-metrical precision specifically designed to manufacture contact lenses made to measure, and in particular for the toric lenses stabilized with bumps. These lathes enable the production of lenses with precision and quality never reached before. This tool, as well as the driving softwares, were developed by SwissLens, in collaboration with EPFL (Ecole polytechnique de Lausanne) and various high technology Swiss companies. Since it is protected by various patents, the company benefits from its exclusive exploitation.
Every SwissLens lens has its own serial number, which guarantees a follow-up and a perfect reproducibility. The appropriate information for every lens is at the adapter’s disposal.
The SwissLens lenses can correct the usual spherical type ametropia (myopia, hypermetropia), astigmatism, presbyopia and all the combinations of those. The Classic range offers an unlimited choice for parameters and materials, as well as the possibility to modify the geometry of the lens in order to adapt to all cases.
The nanotechnology makes it possible moreover to be freed from the operations of polishing, therefore increasing reproducibility and optical quality of the lenses while reducing the use of chemicals to a strict minimum.
We collaborate with the main raw material suppliers: Contamac , Boston (B&L), Paragon Vision Science. Each lens can be manufactured out of the most adequate material. To this end, we constantly watch and follow the evolution of new materials.
Manufacture, control and conditioning are carried out in buildings specifically designed for the production of contact lenses: gray room at controlled temperature and hygroscopy.
SwissLens has a system of Quality Assurance in compliance with the requirements ISO 13485. We are also holder of the EC-label for sterile soft contact lenses and rigid contact lenses.
Each and every contact lens made by SwissLens follows a rigorous control during the successive stages of production.
Following the agreement in June 2020 to acquire the Lunelle contact lens, SwissLens has integrated the certification and product range into its facility in Prilly, Lausanne Switzerland.
After more than 20 years of cooperation and production of Lunelle RX contact lenses, CooperVision and SwissLens agree the taking over of the complete Lunelle product portfolio by SwissLens.
With the strong growth in the German-speaking market, additional lathes were installed.
Germany, today one of the largest markets of SwissLens, started in 2005 with the new colleague Julia Elhariri (formerly Herklotz).
When Essilor decided to close Biolens, they choose SwissLens to entrust the fabrication of Lunelle Toric RX because of the SwissLens experience and knowledge with this type of lenses.
Since then, SwissLens is producing the Lunelle Toric RX without interruption as OEM.
With the good results of LCM, the management decides to create the new SwissLens company with Philippe Kaeppli as the CEO.
The activity started in the new facilities in Prilly, near Lausanne.
The founders of SwissLens were Hervé de Malm, Pierre-André Cuénoud, Gerard Muller and CEO Philippe Kaeppeli.
Before SwissLens was founded, Hervé de Malm and Gerard Muller worked on the development of a fully automatic lathe with an oscillating diamond tool for contact lenses under a company called LCM (Lentille de Contact sur Mesure) near Place Saint-François in Lausanne. With this machine, it should be possible for the first time to produce the patented dynamic stabilisation elements of a soft contact lens in one step like the Lunelle Toric RX.
With this new developed fabrication concept, LCM sold its first soft contact lenses to customers in Switzerland.
Pierre-André Cuénoud left Biolens to join LCM.
In the 70′, Gerard Muller founded a small production of contact lenses in a laboratory under the name Biolens in Lausanne.
In the 80′, Biolens developed the design of the Lunelle Toric RX and was sold to the Essilor company.
In 1983, Pierre-André Cuénoud joined Biolens to lead the production Team.
