The approval came after a recommendation by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO). Dr. Aditya Sethi stated that PresVu improves near vision within 15 minutes, offering an alternative to reading glasses and contact lenses.
Nikkhil K Masurkar, CEO of Entod Pharmaceuticals, described the approval as a major step toward better eye care in India, aiming to improve the quality of life for millions. The company also plans to introduce the product in Africa and Southeast Asia.
