Our Mission: to preserve and enhance vision by delivering innovations to benefit humanity

Dr. A. Mateen Ahmed,
Founder of New World Medical

New World Medical’s Story

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.
