The U.S. market for dry eye disease (DED) therapies witnessed notable developments in 2019, including Novartis’s acquisition of Xiidra and the launch of Sun Ophthalmics’ Cequa at a competitive price to Allergan’s Restasis—the market leader in DED. Moreover, the anticipated generic entry of Restasis and the launch of novel therapies (Kala Pharmaceuticals’ Eysuvis, Bausch Health’s NOV03, ReGenTree’s RGN-259, Oyster Point’s OC-01, and Aldeyra Therapeutics’ ADX-102) in the near future could influence payers’ access and reimbursement decisions in DED. Therefore, drug marketers and developers must understand how U.S. payers, ophthalmologists, and optometrists react to the evolving market dynamics in the treatment of DED.
