EyePoint’s innovative approach extends beyond product development to strategic partnerships and collaborations. The company has secured exclusive licenses for vorolanib from Equinox Sciences for all ophthalmic uses outside of China, Macao, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Additionally, EyePoint has FDA-approved products such as RETISERT® and YUTIQ® that are based on its proprietary drug delivery technology.
