Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (OIS) will serve as the exclusive vendor to the International Vision Networks (IVN), the only specialty group purchasing program for ophthalmologist offices and ambulatory surgery centers, for new digital imaging system units used in the ophthalmic setting. Systems include ophthalmic PACS, fundus cameras, and slit lamps.

IVN, a division of the International Physician Network (IPN) and AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group, will endorse and offer special discounts on OIS products to IVN members, including 250 retina specialty practices and more than 60 eye surgery centers.

"We are excited by the opportunity to offer OIS' digital imaging products to our members," said Brian Battley, COO of IPN. "OIS is known for offering state-of-the-art, advanced technologies within the ophthalmology industry and this agreement is consistent with our strategy to ensure that ophthalmology patients receive the most capable, effective, and innovative treatments available."

OIS CEO Gil Allon added, "We look forward to this unique opportunity for OIS to work with IVN and their prestigious members within the ophthalmology industry. The partnership directly increases the exposure of our complete line of product offerings to new and existing customers in the United States."
