According to a disclosure by the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center on June 6, 2023, an epidemiological survey of DED showed that approximately 344 million patients are suffering from DED worldwide, accounting for 30% of the total number of ophthalmic outpatient visits, with an annual increase of 10%. There are about 80 million DED patients in China, ranking second in ophthalmic diseases.

  • This device has a utility model patent;
  • Epidemiological research shows that the incidence rate of DED for all the  people in China is about 25% to 30%, and about 75% for people over 65-year-old;
  • In the field of DED and visual fatigue, this product is expected to fill in the market gap of medical therapeutic apparatus; and
  • The Company has established sales channels in more than 30 provincial and municipal hospitals, as well as OTC markets in China for more than 20 years. This sales network may strongly support the launch and promotion of this device.

We are actively working to try to launch this product in the first half of next year.
