About
Noninvasive Drug-delivery Technology for Ocular Use
OphRx is developing eye drops based on noninvasive drug delivery that utilize lyotropic liquid crystals as an alternative to current delivery modalities, such as intra-vitreal injections, used to treat diseases at the back of the eye. This platform technology can also be used for front-of-the-eye treatments. OphRx is currently in the preclinical stage of development of two product candidates: OPH-101, an alternative topical treatment to intravitreal injections for wet AMD; and OPH-100, a treatment for DES. OphRx is a XLVision Sciences company, which is fully owned by BioLight Life Sciences Investments.
