Overview
The investigation of product effects on the eye can be based on a wide variety of motivations. Ophthalmological studies with cosmetic products, for example, often pursue the goal of proving the 'tolerability' of the product. On the other hand, tests with medical devices or medicinal products usually focus on the topic of 'efficacy'.
Objective
In this webinar, we shed light on the different perspectives of ophthalmological studies and the different testing approaches for cosmetics, medical devices and medicinal products. In this one-hour webinar, our ophthalmologist Dr Kirstin Deuble-Bente, together with Sandra Bleckwenn from the SGS proderm Business Development Team, will discuss ophthalmologic product safety and efficacy.
