Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when the eyes are unable to produce enough quality tears to maintain proper lubrication, leading to irritation, discomfort, and visual disturbances. Affecting millions globally, the condition often results in chronic symptoms that significantly reduce quality of life. IVIEW Therapeutics aims to address this with the development of IVW-1001, potentially offering a new and effective treatment option.
