Overview
Nordic Pharma, Inc., a subsidiary of the Nordic Group B.V., is set to present a fascinating poster at SECO 2025, an influential optometry conference taking place from February 26 to March 2 in Atlanta, Georgia. This presentation will focus on Lacrifill® Canalicular Gel, an innovative solution designed to address treatment gaps in patients suffering from dry eye syndrome.
The Innovation Behind Lacrifill®
Lacrifill Canalicular Gel is a groundbreaking product that utilizes a proprietary formulation of hyaluronic acid (HA). This gel is uniquely packaged in a pre-filled syring, which can be easily injected through the punctum into the canaliculus, thereby providing direct relief for the tear ducts. The effectiveness of this gel is underscored by a case series presented by Dr. Mile Brujic, OD, FAAO, from Premier Vision Group, who will share insights from his work with patients experiencing refractory dry eye.
Clinical Insights
Dr. Brujic’s presentation will involve three patients who previously used dissolvable occlusive plugs for six months before transitioning to the Lacrifill Canalicular Gel. The outcomes have been promising, demonstrating significant improvements in both the signs and symptoms associated with their dry eye, post-occlusion with the gel. He stated, "Lacrifill Canalicular Gel has proven to be an exceptional tool in my practice. This case series exemplifies the positive changes I have witnessed in numerous patients regarding corneal health and comfort after treatment. Additionally, I have increased the number of occlusions I perform utilizing Lacrifill Canalicular Gel."
SECO Conference Highlights
