Visilens
A new drug releasing lens implant platform

Eliminating post-operative care for cataract surgery

Postoperative intraocular infections and inflammation after cataract surgery pose a substantial risk to patient recovery

Patients are expected to self manage this risk by administering eye drops, a therapy that is only affective with high patient compliance. Patients are required to administer up to 224 drops from 3 bottles over 4 weeks

93% of patients fail to adhere to drops. Eye drops are difficult to put in, especially for elderly patients

visilens technology

Controlled & sustained release of anti-inflammatory therapies attached to an existing IOL.

To overcome the problem of compliance, VisuNano has developed VisiLens, a biodegradable lens that can release anti-inflammatory drugs into the eye, obviating the need for eye drops without compromising the properties of the lens.
