As we continue to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, we’re profiling this rising engineering star. Inspired by the possibility of improving healthcare outcomes for individuals worldwide, Kathryn Lakatos pursued Biomedical Engineering, combining engineering and biology principles to develop solutions that directly impact patient care. Her connections led to an internship and a career at Volk Optical Inc., a Halma company with a mission of eradicating preventable blindness through accessible imaging of the eye. In 2023 Kathryn helped to launch a new surgical lens used by vitreoretinal surgeons, the company’s first new lens in five years, and she also supported the software development of Volk’s VistaView™ which enables those who live far from healthcare facilities to have their eyesight tested, particularly those in remote communities that may otherwise be underserved. #INWED2024 #EnhancedByEngineering #WomenInHalma #WomenInSTEM
