Dear Investor,
We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive, invitation-only investor reception on Tuesday, September 30 in New York City featuring i-Lumen Scientific, a ophthalmology company focused on restoring vision in those Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration (Dry-AMD).
Please note that this meeting is for DIRECT and ACTIVE investors only. All RSVPs must be pre-registered on this Eventbrite site with the investor criteria filled out. All RSVPs are subject to review and approval.
Unlike current pharma-based therapies that merely slow disease progress (vision loss), i-Lumen’s patented, non-invasive ocular stimulation therapy (OST) is designed to improve vision with a ‘physician-delivered therapy’ to help the 200.0M people worldwide suffering from Dry-AMD. i-Lumen’s recently completed i-SIGHT Study demonstrated that 54% of participants had improved vision of 2+ Lines (10+ letters) within 7 treatment days delivered within 2 months and maintained the improvement through 12 months.
With a large unmet market, strong clinical data, and a clear FDA pathway, i-Lumen is positioned to be acquired by a strategic in Ophthalmology as early as 2028, and the $850.0M acquisition of LumiThera by Alcon in 2025 has established a benchmark for energy-based therapeutics to treat Dry-AMD.
