BETHLEHEM, Pa., July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Eyeon Therapeutics has licensed the North American rights to its patents and pending intellectual property for over-the-counter ophthalmic products to an undisclosed licensee. The agreement was executed in May and is the latest step in commercializing this polymer technology developed at Particles Sciences, a Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc.
