Nova Oculus To Expand Internationally

Nova Oculus To Expand Internationally

Indian Wells, CA (PRWEB)November 03, 2016

Nova Oculus Partners, the company with plans to bring to market its pioneering medical device for the treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration, is now going “international.”

With the creation of Nova Oculus Partners International, the company is developing strategies to license its device and patented micro-current therapy in Japan, Australia, Britain and the European Union, Argentina, Colombia and Cuba. Nova Oculus Partners will receive 15 percent of the gross revenue from any licensing agreement signed through Nova Oculus Partners International into those countries.

The Nova Oculus device is already engaged in clinical patient trials in Canada, and regulatory approval for full market commercialization in that country is expected by mid-2017. Some preliminary testing has also been done in Mexico.

Currently, the development of the Nova Oculus device is focused on securing the necessary international certifications that are required before various government-sanctioned regulatory approvals can be granted. Mass production of the device by the company’s manufacturing partner is slated to begin in the spring of 2017. Company officials expect that once certification for the device from the International Organization of Standards is granted, regulatory approval in Canada is achieved, and CE Mark approval for the European market is given, gaining access to other international markets will follow.

It is estimated that more than 26 million people in Britain, the EU, Japan and Australia are afflicted with AMD. As many as three-quarters of a million of those could be treated by the Nova Oculus device in the first year alone. After five years, that number could be as high as 3.75 million patients. According to the company’s calculations, a potential market of that size could conservatively represent $245 million in revenue from treatments and equipment leases in the first year. After five years, that figure could be as high as $500 million.

These figures do not include the numbers from Canada, the U.S., or elsewhere.

About Nova Oculus:

Nova Oculus Partners, LLC was formed to develop, manufacture, and lease to medical professionals an electrotherapeutic medical device to treat visual disease, providing a pulsed micro-current output delivered to the retina by way of a closed eyelid. This treatment method can help mitigate the effects of age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

The Nova Oculus company’s pulsed micro-current therapy represents a new, non-invasive treatment for all forms of macular degeneration. The device output signal is structured to provide a range and pattern of frequencies to stimulate the desired physiologic response at the retinal level. This low current has been shown by studies to stimulate the production of the active transport enzyme, adenosine triphosphate (“ATP”), which facilitates the movement of nutrition from the blood to the cell.

According to recent studies, this treatment improves permeability of the blood vessel membranes and cells, allows better oxygen and nutrition delivery to the cells, metabolism, and removal of by-products from the cells. Through these mechanisms, pulsed micro-current therapy improves retinal pigment epithelium (“RPE”) efficiency and in so doing may restore and/or improve retinal function.

Nova Oculus Partners Revolutionize AMD Treatment

If you are looking to invest in a company that has the forward vision in the field of ophthalmology, Nova Oculus Partners is the key. Their innovative team has revolutionized the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Age-related macular degeneration affects millions of Americans. This eye condition clouds the central vision making it very difficult to do everyday tasks such as drive a car, read a book, or watch television. Contrast and colors can be affected as well. AMD causes deterioration of the central vision over time. It is the number one cause of legal blindness in adults over the age of 50 years old. Nova Oculus Partners developed this new system to help those who suffer from AMD improve their vision and slow the progression of the disease.

The treatment only takes one hour, so it can easily be performed in a physician’s office. The patient wears a special type of goggles that delivers low-level microcurrents to targeted points on the outer eye. Eyes are closed during the treatment and the currents stimulate four specific points on the eyelids. This microcurrent encourages the exchange of nutrition through the membranes of the eye, assisting in the transfer of oxygen and nutrients. It is a non-invasive treatment to help the patient’s retinal function. The medical device will be leased to medical professionals in order for them to treat their patients.

Nova Oculus Partners’ new technology is revolutionary in the optical field. This technology still needs to complete a regulatory approval process with the Federal Drug Administration. It will be the future for treating people who suffer from AMD.

Nova Oculus Partners Discover a Method to Treat Age-Related Macular Degeneration

A deterioration of the central vision of a patient’s eye is the cause for Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Most affected are over the age of 60 years old. The good news is that Nova Oculus Partners have created a specific technology that will treat AMD.

For those who suffer with AMD, their eyes form a “black cloud” in the central vision. This makes it hard to take care of everyday tasks such as reading, watching television, working on a computer, driving a car, and texting on a phone. This breakdown of the macular in the retina can really affect a person’s quality of life. The patient’s vision progressively deteriorates over time. Colors and contrasts in objects are impacted.

The scientists behind the technology that Nova Oculus Partners has developed are a dedicated team of individuals who seek to help those regain their vision. The photoreceptors in the macula need to be healthier. This is done by improving the metabolism of the cells in the eye. By creating healthier photoreceptors, this creates the potential for the patient’s vision to improve.

Used for all types of macular degeneration, this new non-invasive, effective treatment for AMD is the future of helping patients. Nova Oculus Partners uses a BioCurrent Therapy technology that emits targeted frequencies to stimulate a response at the retinal level. Blood vessels and cells then receive an increased flow of oxygen. This allows the delivery of more nutrition to the cells.

During the one-hour procedure, a low level of electric current is applied to the eye. A special designed eye goggle is used to deliver the current. This has been shown to improve the movement of nutrition from the patient’s blood to the cells of the eye. These special goggles apply the electrical current to four places on the closed eye. The four sites consist of the upper left lid, the lower left lid, upper right lid and lower right lid. In a short period of time, 40 seconds, the electrical current is delivered effectively.

While the technology still needs to complete a regulatory approval process with the FDA, it is expected to be the future of treating patients with age-related macular degeneration.
