EssilorLuxottica has announced its acquisition of RetinAI, a Swiss company specializing in artificial intelligence for eye care. This move strengthens the group’s med-tech ambitions by integrating predictive analytics and large-scale image processing tools into its ecosystem, aimed at healthcare professionals.
RetinAI (Ikerian AG) builds medical data analysis software, including RetinAI Discovery®, an FDA-cleared and CE-marked platform that uses AI algorithms to interpret retinal images. It targets conditions like AMD, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, helping clinicians make faster, more accurate decisions.

By integrating RetinAI’s AI into its ecosystem, the group is advancing a more predictive and personalized approach to care, combining diagnostics, research, therapeutic innovation, and surgical excellence. The goal is a fully digital patient journey.
RetinAI's solutions offer healthcare professionals automated analytics based on large biomarker datasets. This enables earlier disease detection, personalized monitoring, and improved clinical outcomes. For patients, it means faster, more accurate eye care.

RetinAI CEO Carlos Ciller sees this acquisition as a turning point for scaling the company’s impact. For Francesco Milleri, EssilorLuxottica CEO, it represents a strategic lever to reshape global eye care by putting data and AI at the center.
Because it marks a strategic shift toward predictive, data-driven eye care. By acquiring RetinAI, EssilorLuxottica isn’t just forming a partnership—it is cementing its leadership in the future of AI-powered ophthalmic diagnostics.
