Investor presentation summary
6 Nov, 2026Strategic position
Hybrid pharmaceutical-device model focused on chronic eye diseases, dropless therapies and underserved patient populations.
Growth opportunities center on interventional glaucoma, which aims to reduce drug burden, and interventional keratoconus, which targets earlier diagnosis and improved access to care.
Interventional glaucoma
Topical-drop non-compliance is a major care challenge: 90% of patients are non-compliant, and 50% purposely discontinue drops within 6 months.
iDose TR is a 75 mcg intracameral travoprost implant designed for up to 3 years of therapy; FDA-approved for re-administration in Jan 2026.
At 12 months, 81% of iDose TR subjects were free of IOP-lowering drops; at 3 years, 70% were controlled on the same or fewer meds. Phase 3 analysis showed non-inferiority to topical timolol at 3 years.
iDose TRIO completed patient enrollment in a Phase 3b study; iDose TREX Phase 2a results showed mean IOP reductions of 8.6–10.8 mmHg, with Phase 2b/3 development advancing.
iStent infinite offers up to 240° of outflow coverage; its platform has 14 years of commercial MIGS leadership and 400+ peer-reviewed publications.
Interventional keratoconus
Keratoconus often begins in the teenage years; ~90% of cases are bilateral, and ~20% of untreated patients ultimately require corneal transplant.
Fewer than 1 in 5 newly diagnosed progressive KC eyes currently receive Photrexa; 70% of diagnosed patients had Stage 2 or worse disease, while 40% declined or significantly delayed therapy.
Epioxa is the first and only FDA-approved epithelium-on treatment: incision-free topical drug therapy designed to slow or halt progression with one administration; commercially available from March 2026.
A patient-access buildout includes service and support, site-of-care and payer networks, provider awareness, and a disease-awareness campaign with Stephen Curry.
Customized third-generation iLink is in Phase 2, using corneal tomography and targeted UV energy to tailor treatment; iVeena is also in Phase 2.
