Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - August 12, 2025 - Ocumetics Technology Corp . (“Ocumetics” or the “Company”) (TSXV: OTC) (OTCQB: OTCFF) (FRA: 2QBO), a leader in advanced ophthalmic technology, is pleased to announce the successful completion of key clinical milestones and to share an update on the anticipated first-in-human (“FIH”) surgeries.

“This is a moment our entire team has been working toward for years,” said Dean Burns, CEO of Ocumetics. “Every milestone we’ve achieved in recent weeks reflects the dedication, expertise, and sheer determination of our people and partners. We’re now just a few days away from transforming the future of vision correction with the first implantation of our groundbreaking accommodating intraocular lens. I couldn’t be prouder of what our team has accomplished.”

Over the past several weeks, Ocumetics has made significant clinical progress:

• June 26, 2025 - Virtual site initiation of the clinical partner site in Mexico City completed, confirming readiness to conduct the FIH clinical study.

• July 9, 2025 - Completion of clinical study protocol training for the clinical team in Mexico City.

• July 30, 2025 - Receipt of verbal ethics committee approval for the study protocol, validating the site’s compliance with the highest international standards for patient safety, scientific integrity, and ethical principles.

• August 5, 2025 - Commencement of patient recruitment at the Mexico City clinical site.

• August 8, 2025 - Implantation of control lenses completed.

Upcoming clinical activities include:

• Final site initiation and surgeon training immediately prior to the FIH lens implantations

• First-in-human implantation of the Ocumetics accommodating intraocular lens

• Daily, weekly, and monthly patient progress monitoring

• Planning for Group 2 surgeries, anticipated in Q1 2026

Given the imminent FIH surgeries, the Company has elected not to proceed with the second tranche of the private placement announced on June 4, 2025.  Ocumetics successfully completed tranche 1 of the financing, raising $1,124,362 through the issuance of 3,212,462 units. The Company paid fees of $68,610 and issued 196,029 agent’s warrants to Numus Capital Corp. for its assistance on the financing. The Company intends to introduce a financing with revised terms following the completion of these historic procedures.
