Essilor becomes IDRA distributor

Essilor has taken on the sole distribution of the IDRA ocular surface analyser by SBM Sistemi, which provides high definition testing for dry eye.

IDRA performs a full assessment of the ocular surface via a series of quick tear film tests in order to classify the type of dry eye disease.

Tim Precious, managing director at Essilor Ltd said: ‘Market data indicates people suffering from dry eye are increasingly seeking treatment. It’s a clear growth area and practices looking to broaden their services should consider offering a dry eye clinic to help existing patients and attract new customers through the doors.’
