With nearly 3.5 million sterile doses dispensed to date and over 6,000 ophthalmic healthcare professionals prescribing our formulations, we see demand continuing to grow as we expand our unique suite of offerings. 

This year has been a record-breaker and 2020 islikely going be another year of record-breaking growth. Producing products at the highest federal quality standards in our facilities, which are all inspected by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is what our customers expect; and it is what they will get as we ensure access to affordable medications for individuals with needs not adequately met by FDA-approved products.”
