What Edc Lamy does

EDC Lamy (SAS EDC LAMY) is an independent French distributor of ophthalmology diagnostic and treatment equipment, founded in 2004 by Dominique Lamy and headquartered in Carvin, Hauts-de-France, with a secondary office in Hénin-Beaumont. The company sells capital equipment and consumables to French ophthalmologists and orthoptists across all metropolitan regions (Nord-Est, Ouest, Sud-Ouest, Sud-Est, Paris-IDF, plus overseas territories) through a field sales organization of approximately ten named individuals supported by a technical service team. Its portfolio spans confocal retinographs (iCare EIDON family, CenterVue DRS Plus), OCT (Mocean 4000), slit lamps (Keeler KSL/PSL), perimeters (Frey AP-600, iCare COMPASS), lasers (LightMed, Norlase), ultrasound (Sonomed), tonometers (iCare rebound range, Keeler Pulsair/air puff, aplanation), dry-eye diagnostics (SBM Sistemi IDRA), and consultation furniture (MDT) — sourced from a curated set of international manufacturers including iCare (Finland), Keeler (UK), CenterVue (Italy), LightMed, Norlase (Denmark/US), Sonomed (US), SBM Sistemi (Italy), Frey, Mocean (China), and MDT (France).

The business model is primarily one-time capital equipment sales to eye-care professionals, supplemented by recurring consumables revenue (iCare tonometer probes, TonoClear disposable aplanation cones) sold through two proprietary online storefronts: Boutique Pro for professionals and Boutique Particulier for individual patients. Pricing for capital equipment is not publicly disclosed and is handled by direct sales contact; selected consumables and small equipment carry published TTC pricing. EDC Lamy generates demand through a specialist product-catalog website, LinkedIn presence, and participation in national and regional French ophthalmology and orthoptics congresses, with no public-facing advertising or third-party reseller relationships. Leadership is founder-led (Dominique Lamy as President, Emmanuel LE GARREC as Directeur Général) with no external parent company, institutional investors, or subsidiaries disclosed.

The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks on file, no published revenue, and no regulatory actions. Its competitive position rests on independence from any single manufacturer, 20+ years of specialist focus, and a nationwide French field sales and technical service footprint tailored to a fragmented base of small ophthalmology practices.
