TEL-AVIV, Israel, September 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
BioLight Life Sciences Investments (OTCQX: BLGTY, TASE: BOLT) (“BioLight” or the “Company”), a firm that invests in, manages and commercializes biomedical innovations in ophthalmology and cancer diagnostics, announced today that its Eye-D platform insert will be presented at the 5th Annual Partnership Opportunities in Drug Delivery (“PODD”) conference on Monday, October 5, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time at the Boston Intercontinental Hotel in Boston, MA.
The Eye-D is BioLight’s platform insert for controlled release ophthalmic medications. The Eye-D is designed to address the known poor compliance of eye drops administration. The first Eye-D indication, the VS-101, contains the market leading glaucoma drug, latanoprost (Pfizer Inc.'s Xalatan®). Utilizing a simple in-office procedure, the VS-101 is intended to release prostaglandin analog (PGA) drug in a controlled manner over time, providing 100% patient compliance to drug therapy.
PODD 2015 seeks to foster a meeting place that inspires innovation and advancement of drug development and delivery as well as providing support for the leaders behind the movement.
