Sight Sciences announced the publication of twelve-month results from the SAHARA trial, showing clinically meaningful improvements in dry eye disease for patients who switched from Restasis to the TearCare treatment. Phase 2 of the trial included 163 patients who had used Restasis for six months before switching to a single TearCare procedure. Key findings revealed that TearCare resulted in statistically significant improvements in tear break-up time (TBUT) and other dry eye symptoms at both three and six months post-treatment. The study's positive outcomes suggest TearCare as a viable primary or secondary treatment for dry eye disease.
Sight Sciences (Nasdaq: SGHT) announced the findings from a new analysis of the ROMEO study, which suggests that their OMNI Surgical System is effective in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) and reducing medication usage in patients with glaucoma, regardless of disease severity. The study, published in Clinical Ophthalmology, included 129 patients categorized by glaucoma severity (mild, moderate, advanced) and showed significant reductions in IOP and medication usage at 12 months post-treatment. The majority of eyes (70%) saw IOP reduction, with 92% achieving 18 mmHg or less. Additionally, 50% to 69% of patients reduced medication usage by at least one medication. The findings challenge the belief that advanced glaucoma cannot be effectively treated with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and suggest consistent treatment outcomes across all stages of the disease.
Sight Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGHT) will present at the Bank of America Healthcare Conference, showcasing innovative eyecare technologies. The presentation will take place on May 14, 2024, accessible via live webcast.
