AI Summary
Sight Sciences, Inc. announced the results of a Budget Impact Analysis (BIA) evaluating the TearCare® System for treating meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)-associated dry eye disease (DED) in U.S. adults. The study compared TearCare’s financial impact to that of prescription dry eye medications such as Restasis and Xiidra. It found that a 20% increase in TearCare’s market share could lead to an estimated annual savings of about $36.87 per member in a hypothetical health plan covering one million people. The analysis focused on patients with moderate to severe dry eye, highlighting that switching from medications to TearCare is associated with meaningful cost savings for U.S. payers.
