Optejet eye spray dispenser
Feb. 19, 2025
Eyenovia, Inc., an ophthalmic technology company focused on completing development of its proprietary Optejet device, announced recent progress on the development of its user-filled spray dispenser.
“Millions of consumers have difficulty with traditional eye drops, including difficulty with inaccurate administration, discomfort from head tilting, messing up make-up and waste and potential side effects associated with excess drops, all of which could be addressed with the Optejet,” stated Michael Rowe, Chief Executive Officer of Eyenovia. “To that end, we continue to advance development of our novel, user-filled Optejet dispenser and look forward to filing for U.S. regulatory approval for this device in the fourth quarter of this year. We believe the user-filled Optejet can address multi-billion-dollar ophthalmic markets while offering an enhanced user experience.”
Some of the features incorporated into the user-filled Optejet include:
User-Filled Cartridge
The new design includes a sterile disposable cartridge that users can fill using their own, fresh eyedropper bottle. The cartridge is then attached to the reusable base unit and would be capable of dispensing up to 180 metered sprays. Once empty, the cartridge is simply replaced with a new user-filled cartridge.

Versatile Applications
The user-filled Optejet is designed to work with a variety of topical ophthalmic liquids, such as artificial tears and lens rewetting products, which are expected to generate sales of four billion dollars in the U.S. this year.
Reliable and Precise Spray
Rigorous testing has resulted in observations of the Optejet’s durable base unit performing over 30,000 sprays, and 98 percent of the Optejet sprays were between 8-9 microliters (approximately equal to the amount of liquid the eye can hold) over 180 doses, meeting exacting specifications.
