About us

Clerio Vision’s scientific roots date back to the 1980s. It was then that a team of scientists from the University of Rochester made groundbreaking discoveries for creating ultrashort yet high-energy laser pulses, which later garnered the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 2003, Bausch + Lomb engaged Dr. Wayne Knox of the University of Rochester to investigate ways in which these advancements in laser technology could further the field of contact lenses. This collaboration soon expanded beyond only contact lenses.  And after 10 years of further breakthroughs, a new vision company was ready to be born.
