I-MED Pharma to Bring Clinically Proven E>Eye IRPL® Technology to Canada

MONTREAL, May 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I-MED Pharma Inc., a Canadian company specializing in dry eye diagnosis and management, is pleased to announce the signing of a Canadian distribution agreement with ESW Vision for the patented E>Eye device.

E>Eye, designed and manufactured in France by E-Swin, is the first and only CE certified medical device in the world using patented IRPL^® technology developed specifically for the treatment of dry eye disease caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), the leading cause of evaporative dry eye disease.

This new type of polychromatic pulsed light produces perfectly calibrated and homogeneously sequenced "cold light" pulses which safely stimulate the meibomian glands to resume secretions, restoring the lacrimal film, thus improving symptoms associated with ocular dryness. 

• Clinically proven
• Quick, painless and non-invasive
• Fast, effective results
• Affordable
