A very warm welcome to Ophthalmic Marketing And Services Pvt. Ltd (OMS). We have been in the Ophthalmic manufacturing industry since the late 1980’s. The close interactions and guidance received from the amazing Ophthalmologists, have not only been inspirational but have also helped us steadily grow to become a fully CE and ISO certified company, comprising of a team of 100 strong members and dealer presence in most of the states of our beautiful country.
In the early 2000s, we broadened our long term vision to cater to all the needs of cataract surgeons. We formed a new company with the name of Ophthalmic Marketing and Services (OMS).
We started out with a five member team that performed the key manufacturing steps of Ophthalmic knives for a US based company. This gave us direct access to the new developments taking place the ophthalmic industry and in the surgical techniques. Back in those days the western world was the hub for design and development of new ophthalmic surgical knives. Not having the quick communication channels of today meant a massive delay in India getting access to latest ophthalmic surgical knives and surgery techniques. There were no indigenous manufacturers of Ophthalmic knives in India at that time.
Our founding fathers late Mr. L. N. Lalwani and the present chairman Mr. G. H. Patel took it upon themselves to bridge this gap. We (Nightingale Healthcare Products Pvt. Ltd.) became the first manufacturer of Ophthalmic microsurgical knives in India in 1988. Early 1990s saw major new developments in the cataract surgery techniques. This inspired our founding fathers and gave them the vision to manufacture ophthalmic microsurgical knives in a more organized way and on a larger scale. A separate partnership Sharpedge Industries was formed to cater exclusively for the Indian market.
