In addition, the firm develops the Optejet user-filled device, a precision ocular liquid delivery system designed to administer front-of-the-eye medications with reduced dosage volume and improved compliance compared to traditional eye drops.
The company conducts its corporate and development activities from its executive headquarters in Laguna Hills, California.
