The Origin of a Shift in Philosophy
In 2005, most ophthalmic diagnostic systems were heavy, stationary, and confined to a single room. If the patient could not get to the machine, the machine did not move.
Micro Medical Devices challenged that assumption. Instead of accepting that precision required permanence, the company asked a different question: What if advanced diagnostics could move as freely as physicians do?
That question led to the development of one of the industry’s early handheld A-Scan ultrasound systems, a device designed to measure ocular structures with clinical accuracy while freeing doctors from the limitations of fixed workstations.
It was not simply a new device. It was a shift in philosophy.
Building on a Core Belief
Over the next two decades, that same philosophy guided the company’s growth: build technology that adapts to clinical reality rather than forcing clinicians to adapt to equipment.
Today, Micro Medical Devices’ biometry and diagnostic systems are used in examination rooms, ambulatory surgical centers, hospital settings, and outreach environments worldwide. The focus remains consistent: precision without compromise, portability without sacrifice, performance without unnecessary complexity.
Engineering Meets Clinical Reality
The company’s leadership reflects this dual commitment.
Ramin Hooriani, President and Head of Software Development, brings deep expertise in electrical engineering and digital signal processing. His academic foundation in engineering and applied physics has shaped the software architecture behind the company’s diagnostic platforms, ensuring signal accuracy and system reliability remain central to product development.
Rafi Israel, M.D., Medical Director, contributes real-world clinical insight as a practicing ophthalmologist. With a background in physics and mathematics prior to earning his medical degree, he bridges theoretical precision with practical application. Each system is shaped not just by engineering specifications, but by the realities of patient care.
Armen Aynilian, Vice President of Engineering, leads engineering initiatives that continue to refine portability, workflow integration, and technical performance.
The Principle Has Not Changed
From its first handheld ultrasound device to its expanding portfolio of diagnostic solutions, Micro Medical Devices has remained focused on one core belief: physicians deserve technology that works where they work.
As ophthalmology continues to evolve with increasing patient volumes, surgical demands, and decentralized care models portability is no longer a convenience. It is a requirement.
After more than two decades, the mission remains clear: combine engineering rigor with clinical insight to deliver tools that enhance care wherever it is delivered.
