BETHLEHEM, Pa., July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Eyeon Therapeutics has received a Notice of Allowance on a novel dry eye treatment based on a charged hydrophilic polymer developed at Particles Sciences, a leading drug delivery CDMO.  The product has been shown to be safe and effective in a small trial previously published.  Mark Mitchnick, MD, CEO states, "This first set of claims around the polymer and its class will go a long way to moving this technology into the commercial phase.  We have been using it in several development projects, and we believe it has promise in many ocular formulations as well as in other areas.  Helping Eyeon gain a proprietary position in this very important market is a great example of what Particle Sciences offers its partners."
