Our commercial efforts began in 2019 and have been primarily focused in the United States, where we are building a “razor and razor blade” business model to drive new customer adoption and ongoing LAL volume growth. Our United States commercial organization includes a direct sales team of LDD sales personnel and LAL account managers, as well as clinical specialists, field service engineers and marketing personnel. Our sales efforts are concentrated on the roughly 4,000 U.S. cataract surgeons that perform 70%-80% of all premium IOL procedures. As of June 30, 2024, we had established an installed base of 810 LDDs in ophthalmology practices and, since our inception through June 30, 2024, surgeons have implanted over 141,000 LALs.

We regularly review several operating and financial metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate our business plan and make strategic decisions.

We may not yet be able to accurately assess seasonality and other trends, and we will continue to evaluate our business in the future using these and other financial metrics as we observe trends in our business. Our quarterly and annual financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors many of which are outside our control.
