PhotoTarget™

The PhotoTarget™ drug carriers provide precise, intravenous delivery of drugs for tissue targeting. Its primary application is to obviate intra-ocular injections for delivery of drugs to the retina and choroid, including photodynamic agents, anti-VEGF's and siRNA's. It technology is based on thermally-labile liposomes to release encapsulated drugs. The PhotoTarget liposomes are used in combination with an optical device to facilitate the release of drugs to highly specific anatomical locations.

TonoPach™

RetinaPharma has developed the TonoPach, a portable simultaneous intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal thickness measurement device. It has been developed for use in the diagnosis and treatment of the millions of patients improperly diagnosed for glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
