About ClearSight Therapeutics, Inc.

ClearSight Therapeutics is dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes by developing innovative over-the-counter (OTC) products for individuals suffering from Dry Eye Disease, Contact Lens Rewetting, and Acute Infectious Conjunctivitis (commonly known as “Pink Eye”). We leverage our proprietary dual-action formulation, which combines an artificial tear with a potent antimicrobial biopolymer. Our products will be the first in their class to address biofilm complications associated with Dry Eye and extended contact lens wear. Furthermore, our Pink Eye treatment will be the first OTC medication able to treat viral pink eye, which accounts for approximately 80% of cases.

Problem statement

ClearSight’s proprietary, patent-pending formulation features a powerful antimicrobial biopolymer that effectively targets and eliminates bacterial, fungal, and viral infections associated with pink eye. Unlike antibiotics, this biopolymer acts on the bacterial cell wall, preventing the development of bacterial resistance. Furthermore, ClearSight’s biopolymer can remove biofilm, which is a challenging complication often seen in Dry Eye Disease and infections related to contact lens use.
