Although the price declined due to collection, the artificial crystal sector achieved rapid growth due to the company's good selection of crystals during the collection process and the gradual release of multifocal crystals with good competitive advantage and clinical feedback; (2) Angle Plastic achieved revenue of 0.113 billion yuan (+6.89%). Despite negative effects such as increased competition and consumption downgrade, it still maintained growth above the industry average; At the same time, the complementary product defocus accelerated, with revenue of +86.8%; (3) contact lenses achieved revenue of 0.183 billion yuan, and the revenue share has increased to 27%. Among them, Tianyan Pharmaceutical and Fujian Youyoukang achieved revenue of 84.95 million yuan and 62.25 million yuan respectively, which are growing rapidly.

Platform-based ophthalmology consumables companies have broad development space. The company is rich in research projects, and PR has already been registered; clinical projects such as aspheric trifocal astigmatism correction crystals, aspherical extended depth of field (eDOF) crystals, and contact lenses are progressing rapidly, progressing well, and there is broad scope for future development.

Risk warning: Product commercialization falls short of expectations, R&D falls short of expectations, etc.
