DATA ● SAFETY ● COMPATIBILITY

Why microvolume delivery?

Eyedrop bottles create drops that exceed the capacity of the human eye by five times.

Every time a you administer one eyedrop, you are losing approximately 80% of the medication to wasted overflow and/ or systemic absorption. This waste not only contributes to premature bottle exhaustion and financial barriers to care, but clinical research has shown that oversized drops overdose the eye, increasing both local and systemic side effects. Cost and side effects are two of the largest barriers to treatment adherence, leading to reduced patient outcomes.

Next: Redefining Ocular Drug Delivery

Redefining Ocular Drug Delivery

The Total Tear Capacity (TTC) is the maximum amount of liquid the eye can contain, and has been measured to be about 30uL. Within the TTC, the Physiologic Tear Volume (PTV) typically fills about 6uL of space, leaving about 24uL of room for additional liquid, what we call the Reserve Tear Volume (RTV). Within the RTV, the functional Reserve Tear Volume or fRTV is the space that can be filled exclusively by topical medications to minimize reflex tearing — optimizing residence time and bioavailability and minimizing local toxicity and systemic absorption. The fRTV is estimated to be approximately 10uL which is in direct conflict with current eyedrop volumes which are often closer to 50uL.

Next: Safety and Efficacy of Microvolume Delivery

Safety and Efficacy of Microvolume Delivery

Clinical research teams have been investigating the safety and efficacy of microvolume delivery since the 1980s. We now have decades of research demonstrating that drops as small as 5µL are as efficacious as the currently oversized drops. Additionally, many studies have shown smaller drops can reduce both local and systemic side effects, while maintaining therapeutic efficacy.

Reduction of Eyedrop Volume with Nanodropper

A benchtop study conducted at University of Colorado demonstrated that the Nanodropper Adaptor can significantly reduce drop volume and increase the overall number of drops dispensed across formulation types including solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. On average, the Nanodropper reduces droplet volume by 62%, allowing bottles to last approximately 3x as long.

Next: Dilation Efficacy in a Pediatric Population

Dilation Efficacy in a Pediatric Population

A clinical study conducted at UCSF evaluated the noninferiority of eye drops eluted with a Nanodropper Adaptor on pupillary dilation and cycloplegia in children compared with the current 50 μl eye drops. Nanodropper was shown to be non-inferior for pupillary dilation in the pediatric population and the investigators concluded that small-volume eye drops have the potential to decrease unnecessary medical waste and medication toxicity while maintaining therapeutic effect.

Next: IOP-Reducing Efficacy and Improved Safety

IOP-Reducing Efficacy and Improved Safety

A clinical study evaluated the noninferiority and safety of timolol microdrops eluted with a Nanodropper Adaptor in treatment-naïve subjects — IOP, resting heart rate, and blood pressure were measured at baseline and 1, 2, 5, and 8 hours after administering the drop. Timolol microdrops delivered with the Nanodropper Adaptor appear to be as effective in ocular hypotensive action as conventional drops with improved resting heart rate and blood pressure stability.

Next: Additional Non-Inferiority Clinical Trials In Progress

Compatible with 90% of Multidose Bottles

The Nanodropper Adaptor is designed to be a one-size-fits-most, allowing the device to be compatible with about 90% of preservative-containing multidose bottles. Notably, the adaptor fits on most in-office drops including phenylephrine, tropicamide, and proparacaine, as well as many OTC and Rx drops including Rocklatan, Vyzulta, Lumigan, Vuity, Lumify, and many more.

For your practice

Install on all exam lane and surgical drops.

Save $1,000s on In-Office Drops

The price of critical diagnostic and perioperative drops has been rising. Bottles that used to cost $10 have risen to $50, $100, or more. With ~80% of the medication in every bottle going to waste, Nanodropper is a simple and immediate solution to minimize waste and reduce the cost of in-office drops.

“We have Nanodropper Adaptors on all of our dilating drops. We mostly use Tropicamide or Phenylephrine, which is so expensive. With seven exam lanes in our practice, we generate meaningful savings on our dilating drops by using Nanodropper Adaptors with these bottles.”

Eric Schmidt, OD, President of the Optometric Glaucoma Society

“With Nanodropper you still get the same effectiveness of your eyedrop, you are just reducing the waste by up to 70 percent.”

Joseph Allen, OD, a.k.a. “Doctor Eye Health” on YouTube

“We have used it for two weeks now and have reduced our dilating drop use by 66%! We are amazed with how well it works. I am convinced this will save us thousands of dollars every year on dilating drops alone.”

Jay Rudd, MD

“The device works great as expected on our large bottles like Paremyd and Proparacaine. Using the Nanodropper will definitely reduce waste and excess cost for the more expensive drops we instill frequently in the office.”

Mark Roark, OD

Early bottle exhaustion leads to an administrative burden to process early refills as well as anxiety, missed doses, and additional costs for patients.
Nanodropper ensures every bottle lasts at least the full prescription term.

Run Out Early

Cost is a major concern for many patients. Even patients with good insurance are often faced with high copays, especially for branded drugs.
Nanodropper eliminates 2 refills / bottle, so patients who spend $10+ for their drops will save money.

Spend $10 Per Bottle

Microvolume delivery has been shown to reduce both local and systemic side effects of eyedrop medications.
Nanodropper may be a good solution for patients who experience adverse side effects with their eyedrops.

Side Effect Concerns

Common indications include:
Glaucoma ● Dry Eye ● Post-Operative ● Pediatric Myopia

“The typical drop is too large. The Nanodropper has wonderful applicability for artificial tears, eye redness relieving agents, allergy drops, even glaucoma drops.”

Laura Periman, MD, Periman Eye Institute, a.k.a. “DryEyeMaster” on social media

“The Nanodropper Adaptor allows me to keep the patient on branded medications by making the cost a little more acceptable. My patients are extremely thankful when they know they can continue with a medication that’s working for them. Nanodropper has helped my patients stay and, at times, get back on those medications.”

Justin Schweitzer, OD, Vance Thompson Vision

“We have found that the Nanodropper allows us to keep patients on branded glaucoma eyedrops for longer. We have a huge glaucoma practice, and I’m a big proponent of using branded medication whenever possible.”

“The difference between my patients using their drops every day versus running out at 22 days and not being able to refill until after 30 days due to their insurance policy, it makes a world of difference. The Nanodropper Adaptor takes them well past that 30-day mark.”

Eric Schmidt, OD, President of the Optometric Glaucoma Society

“Patients are so thankful that they can make their drops last as long as is needed when they factor in the waste that sometimes occur instilling their eyedrops. This has been a money saver for them.” 

Oluwatosin Smith, MD, Glaucoma Specialist at Glaucoma Associates of Texas

“Many patients have difficulty getting one drop in. It’s easy to say, ‘why don’t you just have the patient be more careful with their eyedrops?’ But when you’re dealing with someone who might be 80 years old, their hand shakes, they have arthritis or some other difficulty, it’s just not all that easy to get the eyedrop in. If you have a way to extend that bottle so they’re not running out early, that’s huge.”

Murray Fingeret, OD, Founder of the Optometric Glaucoma Society

“Everything that Nanodropper does addresses problems that patients encounter. Whether it’s troublesome side effects, cost, or running out of their drops too fast, the Nanodropper improves a lot of those issues for patients. It was a no-brainer to try it and introduce it to all of our patients that use drops chronically.”

Don Nguyen, MD, Glaucoma Specialist at BVA Advance Eye Care

“This is really important for anyone who uses eyedrops on a regular basis…especially for someone with glaucoma, whose medications can get quite expensive.”

Joseph Allen, OD, a.k.a. “Doctor Eye Health” on YouTube

The Nanodropper has the potential to reduce eye drop waste while helping patients to effectively utilize their entire drop bottles. As a glaucoma specialist and an ophthalmologist invested in sustainability, this product is important to my patients on one or more drops and to eye care as a whole.

Emily Schehlein, MD, Glaucoma Specialist at Brighton Vision Center
