Preventing vision loss due to retinal diseases
Fís is a new and unconventional treatment option and consists of an injectable formulation that acts quickly to treat the oedema in the eye, saving permanent loss of vision associated with diabetic retinopathy. Fís will provide a treatment option to the clinician that has a much lower treatment burden and a unique mechanism of action that treats the root symptom causing vision loss, to improve patient outcomes over current standard of care.
