NEW YORK, June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: EYEN), an ophthalmic technology company developing the Optejet® device for use both in connection with its own drug-device therapeutic product candidates for presbyopia and pediatric progressive myopia as well as out-licensing for additional indications, today announced that the company will be delivering a presentation at the annual OCTANE Ophthalmology Tech Forum 2023, which is being held June 8-9 in Newport Beach, CA.
The presentation is scheduled for Friday, June 9th at 5:00 p.m. PDT.
Norbert Lowe, Eyenovia’s Vice President of Commercial Operations, will present on the recent FDA approval of Mydcombi, the first and only FDA-approved tropicamide and phenylephrine ophthalmic spray for mydriasis, and the first of what is planned as a series of unique products based on Eyenovia’s proprietary Optejet dispenser.
“The theme of this year’s OCTANE forum, ‘Future Focused,’ will highlight recent innovations that will shape the future of ophthalmology, and we believe our novel Optejet technology will do just that,” stated Michael Rowe, chief executive officer of Eyenovia. “The recent approval of Mydcombi for mydriasis was an important achievement for Eyenovia as it provided critical validation of the Optejet, which is the foundation of not only our own development programs, but also our existing and future partnerships and collaborations as well.
“The Optejet represents the first true advancement in the administration of topical ophthalmic medications since the invention of eyedrops over 100 years ago, and we are pleased to highlight this innovation to the many peers, practitioners, thought leaders and investors at this year’s OCTANE conference,” Mr. Rowe concluded.
