NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Supports National Dry Eye Awareness Month with Educational Programs and Avenova Product Promotions

NovaBay^® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NBY), a company developing and commercializing high-quality eyecare, skincare and wound care products, announces that it will be sponsoring dry eye educational programs and offering special promotions on its Avenova^®-branded eyecare products to customers and eyecare professionals throughout July in support of National Dry Eye Awareness Month.

“Dry eye can be attributed to many factors such as exposure to air pollution and indoor heating and cooling, wearing contact lenses and even staring for too long at computer or smartphone screens,” said Justin Hall, NovaBay CEO. “Over the years we have consistently heard from patients and eyecare professionals alike that managing chronic dry eye can be a challenge. Recognizing that a single approach may not be sufficient to gain and sustain relief from the symptoms of dry eye, NovaBay now offers a full line of best-in-class products under the Avenova brand.

“Throughout July we will be reaching customers and eyecare professionals through advertising, social media, email and direct mail campaigns, and tapping into the expertise of our Optometry and Ophthalmology Advisory Boards and other influencers to raise awareness about dry eye and offer solutions to manage this condition,” he added.

Customers ordering on Avenova.com will receive a 20% discount plus free shipping on the full line of Avenova-branded products, including additional savings for those using the ‘subscribe and save’ function. This promotion allows customers to replenish their Avenova supplies during the summer months and provides special pricing to encourage customers to try additional Avenova products.

Eyecare professionals are invited to participate in the Woo University’s online course “Eyelid Hygiene From Office Education and Product Dispensing to Increasing Patient Compliance at Home” on Thursday, July 13, 2023 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Pacific time. The COPE-accredited, CE-credit course is being sponsored by Avenova and will be moderated by Jennifer Stewart, OD with featured speaker Elise Kramer, OD. This course aims to educate practitioners how to increase compliance with lid hygiene for patients by offering revenue products in their office and/or ensuring patients have access to recommended products once they leave the office. The course will also discuss the importance of eyelid health for contact lens patients and present studies showing discomfort as the leader of contact lens dropout. Registration is available here.

NovaBay offers best-in-class Avenova-branded products for each step of the standard dry-eye treatment regimen, including Avenova spray, the No. 1 doctor-recommended lid and lash cleanser, lubricating eye drops for instant relief, a warm eye compress to soothe, an antioxidant-rich dietary supplement with omega-3 oils and the i-Chek to monitor eyelid health.
