Q3 2018 and Recent Business Highlights

Dr. Sean Ianchulev, Eyenovia’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer commented, “With the acceptance of our IND application for MicroStat for mydriasis, we expect to initiate our first Phase III study this month, followed by two additional Phase III studies for myopia progression and chronic angle closer glaucoma over the next nine months. As we seek to further support these upcoming trials, our PG21 study demonstrated superior patient self-administration of 90 percent and similar intra ocular pressure lowering efficacy compared to traditional eyedrops and was recently selected for publication by Clinical Ophthalmology .
