ABB OPTICAL GROUP NOW OFFERS REGENER-EYES LITE
ABB Optical Group now has available Regener-Eyes Lite, a sterile, biologic, regenerative medicine eye drop made of proteins, anti-inflammatory cytokines, and growth factors. The types of proteins found in Regener-Eyes Lite have been shown to reduce inflammation and to help stimulate the ocular surface to heal, repair, and regenerate, leading to a reduction in inflammation and irritation caused by dry eye, according to the company. ABB Optical says that Regener-Eyes Lite uses technology engineered to help stimulate stem cell communication without cell-to-cell contact.
Regener-Eyes Lite is an over-the-counter drop that does not require refrigeration and is designed for patients who have mild-to-moderate dry eye. Practitioners can order Regener-Eyes Lite directly through ABB Optical Group and have the product shipped directly to their patients. Visit abboptical.com/dry-eye . ■
