VISUSNANO

VisusNano is a biotechnology start-up company developing a drug-eluting intraocular lens, which has the potential to revolutionise cataract surgery... VisusNano Ltd. is a pre-clinical company developing a pipeline of exciting drug-eluting intraocular lens implant, for use in patients undergoing cataract surgery. By improving patient outcomes, obviating the need for eye drops after surgery, and avoiding the need for laser treatment after surgery, our project has the potential to revolutionise cataract surgery in both the human and veterinary markets... We are developing a novel biodegradable polymer-based drug elution system which can be attached to the intraocular lens, allowing slow, controlled release of antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and anti- proliferative agents. A drug-eluting IOL prevents cell proliferation and reduces the risk of infection and inflammation, and avoid the need for eye drops or postoperative laser treatment.
