Developing our own eye care products, from formulation to clinic

Every decision starts with one purpose: better outcomes for the patient. That’s the standard we hold our research, formulations and manufacturing to.

Inside our lab

A dedicated facility for formulation science

We operate a private facility for formulation development and testing. Some capabilities and methods remain proprietary.

01

Formulation

Developing new formulations from concept to candidate.

02

Stability testing

Checking formulations hold up over time and in real-world conditions.

03

Quality control

Verifying every batch against our own internal standards.

Where our formulations take shape

Our dedicated lab in Dublin is where new eye care products begin. Our scientists develop formulations in-house and put them through initial testing before they move into wider development.


01 · Formulation development

Turning a patient need into a working formulation, refining ingredients and concentrations batch by batch.


02 · Initial testing

Early checks on stability, performance and compatibility so only the strongest candidates move forward.

Where to go next

Ideation & discovery

How new ideas become real projects for R&D.

Clinical evidence
