The unique viscous properties of I-DEFENCE® enable a prolonged contact-time with the ocular surface. This hydrating ointment provides soothing relief of dry eye symptoms, such as soreness, irritation, or a gritty sensation on the eyes, while acting as a barrier against moisture loss. It is ideal for night-time use.
Ilan Hofmann, Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer of I-MED Pharma stated, “I-DEFENCE®’s formulation is extremely effective at providing maximum, long-lasting relief of dry eye symptoms, and is well tolerated by patients. We are pleased to expand our dry eye portfolio to include an ointment that will continuously lubricate and hydrate the eyes throughout the night. We recommend I-DEFENCE® for patients that suffer from severe chronic dry eyes and lagophthalmos symptoms. We are confident that I-DEFENCE® will be met with favorable results by both eye care professionals and their patients.”
