Optimising pharmaceutical & device development
ICON has supported success in ophthalmology drug and device development across the globe with a complete range of leading solutions and services.
Globally, one billion people have moderate or severe distance vision impairment or blindness due to unaddressed refractive error, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, as well as near vision impairment caused by unaddressed presbyopia. Aging populations mean that glaucoma alone is expected to affect more than 80 million people worldwide by 2021, potentially becoming the leading cause of blindness.
As a global, full-service CRO, ICON is a trusted partner for ophthalmic development for both medical devices and pharmaceuticals. We will work with you to maximise efficiency and value—from trial design to commercialisation and beyond.
ICON offers proven expertise, helping clients achieve success across the following ophthalmology areas:
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Cataracts
