EAS EFFICACYY HANDLING

X Eye dsiconfort (5 events) and decreased lacrimation (3 events), foreign body sensation,
irritation, pruritus, hypersensitivity, hyperaemia, dry eye, oedema and erythema were the
most often reported adverse events.

CONCLUSIONS: The tested multi-dose delivery system is highly accepted in the studied

X population and is a suitable choice for a fixed-combination glaucoma therapy. Further
studies may be necessary to assess the easiness of use of this easy-to-grip delivery
system in patients with greater disability to instill or having severe problems in instilling
their eye drops themselves.

KEY MESSAGES

X Real-life data for an international study designed for both ophthalmologist and patients
X 78.3% patients and 97% of the ophthalmologists are satisfied with the multidose delivery
system: Easygrip
®
®
X Easygrip MD patented bottle is highly accepted in the studied population with different
levels of visual acuity or levels of dexterity
X The study reports satisfaction results for opening, handling, squeezing and obtaining a
drop as well as instilling eye drops using Easygrip MMDS.
®
®
X Good compliance with the EasyGrip system with 80% of patient that almost never
forget their eye drops.
®
X The results confirm the interest of switching to the PF MD device EasyGrip whilst keeping
the efficacy.
X Education of patients on the good instillation technique is key to keep a long-term
adherence and ultimately the treatment efficacy.

STRENGTHS

®
X First real-world data on patient satisfaction with Duokopt , and first study where dexterity
problems were assessed with Quick Dash questionnaire in glaucoma population.
X The results of ISY study confirm the interest of switching from a preserved MD glaucoma
®
treatment to a Preservative-free MD device EasyGrip whilst keeping the efficacy. This
new MD patented bottle is well accepted even in an elderly population with differing
levels of visual acuity.

LIMITATIONS

X No comparison to another multidose.
X Design with only one visit
®
X Different durations of Duokopt use before evaluation

MARKETING CLAIM

®
X The New Preservative-Free Multidose delivery system Eeasygrip is considerer easy to
