Alimera Sciences Announces Agreement with CYNACON / OCuSOFT®, to Co-Promote OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub Eyelid Cleanser

This agreement matches Alimera Sciences’ excellent practitioner relationships with CYNACON / OCuSOFT ‘s quality product line,” said Dan Myers, CEO of Alimera Sciences. “OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub is the number one doctor-recommended eyelid cleanser and we expect this collaboration to provide expanded care to doctors and staff as well as their patients.”

Cynthia L. Barratt, President and CEO of CYNACON / OCuSOFT, stated, "We could not be more excited about this partnership. The entire executive staff at Alimera has prior experience managing a national campaign for another brand in the Eyelid Hygiene category. Collectively, we now have not only the number one brand but a strong, experienced management team as well.”

OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub Eyelid Cleanser is recommended by eye care practitioners for the removal of oil, debris and desquamated skin from the eyelids. A regular program of eyelid hygiene has been demonstrated to be of significant value in managing a wide variety of ophthalmic conditions including Blepharitis and Dry Eye Syndrome.

Practitioners note that the major obstacle to any eyelid hygiene regimen continues to be patient compliance. OCuSOFT offers the widest array of products and packaging for every patient type. OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub is available in Pre-Moistened Pads, Solution, and a new Lid Scrub Foam. Pre-Moistened Pads offer maximum convenience and are ideally suited for travel. Where longer-term economy is of primary concern, new economy OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub Foam in a 7.2 oz controlled-tip bottle or a 1.68 oz. travel size is recommended.
