Our journey began in Nigeria over 40 years ago, when a young professor inundated with patients suffering from onchocerciasis dedicated himself to alleviating ophthalmic ailments. After moving to California a few years later, Dr. A. Mateen Ahmed founded New World Medical and introduced the Ahmed® Glaucoma Valve to the world.
New World Medical was founded to benefit humanity. Our firm works to live up to this lofty goal by creating and manufacturing cutting-edge surgical devices intended to alleviate the suffering of glaucoma patients globally. Dedicated surgical sales consultants provide support for New World Medical’s flagship products, which include the Ahmed® Glaucoma Valve, Ahmed ClearPath®, KDB GLIDE®, and STREAMLINE® Surgical System throughout the United States. Internationally, the company utilizes an exclusive distribution network to reach patients in need.
