January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month. #DYK that glaucoma is often referred to as the “silent thief of sight?” Symptoms can begin gradually, and once vision is lost to #glaucoma, it cannot be restored. But early detection and treatment can help save your sight. Prevent Blindness recommends routine comprehensive eye exams as a crucial tool for detecting symptoms of glaucoma, including optic nerve damage, increased intraocular pressure, and vision loss. https://lnkd.in/eNszXh9

The positive topline results of our BRIO-I phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating BRIMOCHOL™ PF, our lead investigational candidate for the treatment of #presbyopia, were featured in a recent Ophthalmology Times article. Authors Cecelia Koetting, OD FAAO DipABO and Elizabeth Yeu, MD, noted: “At 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours, Brimochol PF was superior to both carbachol and brimonidine monotherapies, with up to 51% of subjects meeting the preset FDA end point of a ≥ 15-letter gain from predose baseline without a ≥ 5-letter loss.” Link: https://lnkd.in/edpUKZhz

Visus Therapeutics, Inc. CEO Ben Bergo spoke with Ophthalmology Times during this year’s AAO meeting about the company’s BRIO-I and BRIO-II clinical trials for Brimochol™ PF, a once-daily drop in development for the treatment of #presbyopia. Said Mr. Bergo: “We showed robust responder rates from early in the day, through to the latter parts of the day, to the latter time measurements in this study. Approximately 50% of subjects were able to graduate, from moderate to mild, or severe to mild, presbyopia, and achieve 2040 or better vision at 10 hours.” Full interview: https://lnkd.in/gk_82Qdq
