H.C. Wainwright 28th Annual Global Investment Conference summary
14 Sep, 2026Market opportunity and clinical need
Addressable market for combined cataract and glaucoma treatment is $13 billion, targeting 1 million U.S. patients annually and 5.4 million globally.
20% of cataract surgery patients have glaucoma or ocular hypertension, representing a significant unmet need.
Existing alternatives like iDose are limited in accessibility and require changes in surgical technique.
Poor adherence to topical glaucoma drops leads to suboptimal outcomes for many patients.
The new product aims to simplify care by integrating drug delivery into standard cataract surgery.
Product innovation and differentiation
The intraocular lens (IOL) with drug pads delivers bimatoprost for up to three years, requiring no changes to standard surgical procedures.
Accessible to all cataract surgeons, unlike minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries performed by only a third of surgeons.
Drug pads are nearly invisible post-surgery and do not interfere with future glaucoma treatments.
The product uses FDA-approved materials and leverages existing reimbursement codes.
A follow-up Drug Ring System allows for retreatment years after initial surgery.
Clinical data and regulatory pathway
First-in-human study showed 95% of patients off additional therapy at three years, with 37% mean IOP reduction.
Phase I/II trial with over 100 patients showed 98% off topical therapy and 34% mean IOP reduction at 12 months for the 78 mcg dose.
Visual acuity outcomes matched commercial IOLs, with 100% achieving 20/30 or better.
Phase III trials underway with 800 patients, focusing on IOP reduction and visual performance.
NDA submission targeted for 2028, with potential product launch in 2029.
